47. TY.. This wasn't a "basement"

Thu Jan 12, 2023, 07:48 PM

Jan 2023

We entered it only from outside the House with one of those huge flat doors.

She kept preserves and homemade canned goods down there.

I didn't realize the importance of it since I had never been in a Tornado.

Years later my Mom's hometown, Limon Colorado, about 10 minutes away got Flattened by a Tornado.. I don't think anyone was killed.. Amazingly enough!

This happened on June 6, 1990.. so 32 1/2 years ago now

Limon marks 20 years since devastating tornado
