re: #136 thedopefishlives

Just heard from the fishfolk. The city of Kokomo is a wreck; 2 EF-2 tornados struck it yesterday, rendering the southern parts a veritable war zone. My family’s farm is okay, but further up the road there were trees down, roofs damaged, even barns and houses destroyed. Going home for Christmas is just a little bit more important this year, because we all came about that close to not having a home to go back to.

Continuing here in my suggestions, save the links and whatnot from stuff you find now.

It’ll be easier than trolling the Googles later.

The New Lisbon/Mauston tornado discussed here was the system that hit my grandparents. I know the yellow house isn’t theirs just because theirs didn’t have a porch. Must have been the one further down the street.

Pretty much 50 acres of woods got clear-cut following that storm. The funds at least allowed them to expand on the house (in the family since the 1910-1920 era).
