25th Anniversary of Albion Tornadoes
Today, May 31st, marks the 25th anniversary of the devestating day that tornadoes ripped through the town of Albion in southwestern Erie County and near the city of Corry in southeastern Erie County.
On that day in 1985 several people were injured and twelve people lost their lives in Albion. Belle Valley responded to Albion with an ambulance to help take care of the injured.
The tornadoes of May 31, 1985, were the worst that ever touched down in Erie and Crawford counties.
Seventy-six people would die, and more than 900 would be injured from 32 tornadoes that were tallied in Pennsylvania and Ohio that day.
