Chiyo Winters recalls the terrible tornado which hit Sunnyvale on January 11, 1951. “I remember it was a very stormy morning, there was the rain, and hail, and the roar of the wind sounded just like a freight train.”
This story was made possible through a Library Services & Technology grant from the California State Library. The goal of the Sunnyvale Voices project was to record and provide access to the early history of Sunnyvale as told by Sunnyvale residents. A compilation video of all stories recorded for this project, titled “Sunnyvale Voices: From Settlers to Silicon,” is available for checkout in the Library collection.
