[George/Helen Myers]

Steve,  Thanks for posting that site of the Rollag Story.  The pictures from ND are unbelievable to most of us Easterners although we did have severe tornado damage just east of Hershey PA last week.  We are grateful that tornados are not normally part of our severe weather threats.  I can't begin to imagine what must go thru one's mind during a storm like that even though it happens in the wink of an eye.

  Thanks for the sad news.  I did some searching and found this story. 
  Looks like it hit late on Monday 7/12 (11:30pm-1:30 am).  I enjoyed my
  visit to the show last fall.

  This story has a few pictures.

  Subject: [Steam-engine] Bad news from Rollag

  Last night I received the following message from my brother.  He got the
  information from his daughter who lives in Moorhead, Minnesota.

  "Bad news at Rollag.  Tornado went thru last Friday, tens of thousands of
  dollars in damage. The huge shed housing the threshing machines had been
  hurt in a previous storm. Demolished in this one and moved many feet. 
  Some of the machines destroyed, I think maybe the oldest, wooden ones.
  "Others badly damaged.  Other buildings also damaged. I assume that trees
  were hurt too.  Plans are to have the Reunion as scheduled, if volunteers
  turn out in sufficient numbers to do all the work."
