The Ford Barn

Are there Barn members in the areas that were devastated by the tornado? Are they OK? I know it is hard for the families who have lost love ones or have lost their houses and businesses. I cannot imagine loosing so much.

Living in Oklahoma I can feel for the people impacted by the weather.
But like Grandpa used to say..."Life is like butter, and sometimes you're the bread"

Hello, I was wondering that too , here in Northwestern Pennsylvania, 1985 we had 7 tornados hit places like Albion and Atlantic, saw first hand the death and damage they caused.Currently have fund raising going on to help victims of the latest tornados .

In one news report I saw a Tri-5 Chevy of some sort up on a 4-post lift in a garage with the side wall torn out. The car looked fine but the garage was a mess.

I can't imagine the hurt the destruction has caused!

We got hit by the May 3rd tornado here in Oklahoma, from the pictures I'm seeing they got hit as bad or worse...prayers to all
(We moved to a more hilly and protected area of Oklahoma)

Keith, Any property damage to your house or shop? Or, God forbid, did anyone in your family get hurt? I am thinking you were not effected by the latest storms.

Keith, you're referring to Bridge Creek-Moore in 1999, I assume. That was a nasty one.
nk - these latest rippers missed us by 150 miles or so.

Prayers to all in the path of destruction.

Yep, that was the monster.
We faired very well, compared to some of our friends and neighbors...who lost everything...and I mean everything.
The total destruction missed us by only blocks, but that damage was enough to make me leave the flatlands and head for the hills to live.
Stay strong Kentucky.
