Thank you so much to everyone on this list that responded to my query of 2 days ago on the tornado in Frankfort in the 1870s. I was just amazed by all the responses I got and so quick. Boy, it sounds like that tornado was the tornado to end all tornados. No wonder, my great-great-grandfather got scared into moving. Thanks again to everyone for their kind help. That's what genealogy research is all about. Jerry I. Rupke Ephrata, WA
