I think it’s a great song too and tells the terrible story of their demise in hauntingly great detail. It grabs me every time I hear it.
I’ve had a great respect for the power of the wind since I was ten years old and our entire farm was leveled by a tornado. I pay attention to the weather, especially tornadoes and possible gust fronts. You never forget when you come up from your basement and the whole farm (save the house) is flattened and the animals are dead or injured.
wow sorry for your loss
