The tornado story reminded me of a story told to me back in the 1990's when we visited the Uppermans who lived on the old Abraham Moon homestead in the Bethlehem area of Garrett County. Their house sits on the same foundation as to old Moon home. Mr. Upperman told us a tornado had struck there years ago, though I don't recall that he mentioned the year. Anyway, the story went that the house was picked up, turned 1/4 turn, and set back down on the foundation. The family bible was laying open on a stand inside an open living room window and not one page was turned. Possibly that may have been the same tornado that struck Cumberland in 1944, but I don't know. The 1944 article did mention that Garrett County was also hit, but didn't say exactly where.

Sam, I guess you received the story okay. I guess the error message I received was that the List would not accept the attachment. Your story is really interesting - strange things do happen. I remember back in the late 60's we saw a picture of a broom straw blow into a telephone pole from a tornado near Oil City, PA in the newspaper. Dick Crow "The Ole Crow" Retired and enjoying it!
