Itâs been 25 years, but time has done little to diminish the memories of the backâto-back tornadoes that struck Macon County in 1996.
âOnce you go through something like this, you never forget,â said Kelly Miller, whose home was leveled by the tornado that hit Macon County on April 19, 1996. The community was already recovering from a tornado that hit the south end of Decatur the night before.
