Sew Cozy Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 A tornado hit our town yesterday afternoon, Rolla ND. Many houses damaged, and some destroyed. One fireman was injured will spotting the tornado. His pickup was lifted of the road and hit a electric pole. He only had minor scratches, and a few stitches. Check out the Rolla home page, many pictures. http://rolla.nd.utma.com/rolla_tornado_pictures.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsurich Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Laura, How is your family, home, quilting machine and customer quilts (in that order)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sew Cozy Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 We live two miles North of Town. The tornados path was between our house and town, so no damage at our house. None of us were home at the time it went through, thank God. All quilting stuff is still were I left it. Most of the actual tornado pictures are about 1/2 mile from our house.
