Today we have part 2 of stories about the tornado. Rob and Becki Merry moved to Kane with their 3 children – Melissa, Mike and Matt- in the summer of 1984. They lost their home in the tornado of 1985 and really experienced the community of Kane helping them rebuild.
A few pics:

The Merry’s car flipped upside down on their house after the tornado. This is what Rob saw when he got to the house, not knowing if his family was ok
