As I write this column on Tuesday, March 12, the tornado siren has sounded for the test. I hope it never has to be used for a tornado here. It is always tested on the first Wednesday of the month.
I do remember a small tornado that passed this way in 1951. I was returning from a math contest in Indianapolis near midnight and the lights were on in the big bank barn at our house just south of town, This was very unusual and I soon found out that a tornado type wind had taken the very large beam out of the top of the barn that Great Grandpa Jonathan Michael had built from the trees on the farmland before any house was there. It only hit our barn and then went down again at Baer Field to wreck a plane on the ground.
Not too long ago one also hit land on Yoder Road and destroyed some barns.
As always you are welcome to come and have coffee with other friends and neighbors at the Zanesville Community Church of God’s Coffee Cafe that is open weekdays from 7:30 to 10 a.m.
