Yes: "Tornadoes? What tornadoes?" -- approximate quote from the
time-traveler about an hour after he prevented the assassination.

And, there was another time-traveler involved peripherally in the
story, a fellow historian from his era, but after all these years I
can't remember whether she appeared during all this to explicitly
tell him that the "nice going hero, you broke the universe" shit was
going to keep getting worse, or if he merely surmised that for himself.
