A retrospective covering the tornado that struck Kalamazoo on May 13, 1980. WKZO staff member Fred Douglas narrates the events of the day, from the first reports of a building storm system, to the aftermath and recovery efforts. Interspersed between Douglas' narration are clips from interviews with citizens describing their experiences, news coverage, an ad from the Cooey Knapper Company assuring its customers that it is open, and statements by Kalamazoo Mayor Edward Annen from his temporary headquarters in the WKZO broadcast booth.
