Mine was Coldwater, MI, 1965.

Tornados are no laughing matter, but it is true that Wizard of Oz affected plenty of kids - at least I think it's true, it affected me!

Serving 2 breakfasts today. One regular and a request of mouse1. Perhaps, save the lobster roll for lunch.

The first time I had a lobster roll was 35 years ago on our honeymoon. We were headed for Maine and stopped in Massachusetts. That's where we bought our first lobster roll. Delicious!!!

I live in MA.
Last Summer we actually had a tornado touch down in the cemetery directly across the street from me!
I was out on the front porch when it happened, it was CRAZY!
My gf completely freaked out.
The sound.....It sounded like a hundred freight trains racing towards me, sounded like an unstoppable force knocking down every tree in the woods behind the graveyard...
The wind and rain was unbelievable, i had never seen anything like it around here. my outdoor furniture ended up in the neighbors yard.
It was CRAZY!
Scary thinking about what would of happened if it was just a tiny bit closer...
The tee shirt place in the center of town sells a shirt saying “I survived the Wrentham tornado of 2015!”
I should buy one lol
