In the early evening of April 26, 1991 a ferocious F5 tornado tore through the Golden Spur Trailer Park in Andover, Kansas. An Andover police officer drove through the streets, siren blaring, to alert residents to get to the storm shelter. More than 200 mobile home residents heard that warning, left their trailers, huddled in the community’s underground shelter…and survived.
Denise Peterson was not that lucky. The 28-year-old was hard-of-hearing. She had just gotten home from a long day’s work and it’s possible she had removed her hearing aids to relax and unwind. She was one of thirteen residents who died in Golden Spur.
