“I Survived Sun ‘n Fun” T-Shirts For Sale
The Sun ‘n Fun tornado last week was certainly a dramatic enough event, and affected enough people, that a T-shirt to commemorate it was inevitable. By Saturday, show-goers were turning up with gray T-shirts that proclaim, “I survived Sun ‘n Fun 2011,” with a graphic of a spinning tornado tossing tents, airplanes, and various critters into the air. The actual tornado that hit the airport, while it was certainly damaging, was not quite so dramatic as the one on the T-shirt, but for those who were there, it’s now officially a t-shirt-worthy event.
