Derwood Lane, a Balmorhea high school teacher, watched spellbound and horrified as a

half-mile-wide tornado crashed down on the little town of Saragosa, Texas, just six miles away from where he was watching. Minutes later, the town was the scene of death and destruction.

The time was 8:30 p.m. on Friday, May 22, 1987. Twenty-nine people were killed, and more than one hundred were injured. Some were students in Lane's high school art and English classes. Many of the others were personal friends or acquaintances. The author joined the volunteers and professionals who worked frantically through the long night of horrors. The nightmare of the storm as Lane and other survivors lived it throughout that night and for weeks afterward is described graphically in Saragosa: The Town Killed by a Tornado.
