Rochester Indiana

A Dean’s Milk semi trailer blew into her house where she was sitting, knitting

6 lost in that town, one was a 2 month old that was swept from a mothers arms as the tried to get to cover

We lived 12 miles away and never knew it happened until an uncle in Chicago heard about the storms sweeping through and called us

Complete chaos when we got there. Hours went by before NG would let my father through to check.

She had already been moved and we’d exhausted the other possibld possible placeslaces she might have ended up.

Finally my dad and I eventually went to the local funeral home and saw 5 bodies on the garage floor, one of them covered in an unfinished afghan with her little old ladies shoes. A sight that’s still vivid in my mind 50 years later

My mother never recovered from that and took her own life 8 years late
