Tractor saved man from tornado

ASEguy · Jan 1, 2011

Bright spot in an otherwise stormy day. Severe storms and numerous tornados rolled through here (Missouri) yesterday. While watching the news a reporter showed a picture of one of many devastated houses just north of me and said the man's house was levelled, car was mashed (totalled) and the man survived when he got under his 1934 tractor. It had some debris on it, but looked good! A great story about an old workhorse still helping out his owner. Roads are closed in the area. Only one death due to the storm so far. Gerard

Good to here that your ok. I have talked to Farmall Hal on the phone who lives close to Rolla and he is ok. Have not heard form or seen any posts from H-cooke who lives in the Salem area hope he is ok. All the storms pasted south of me so didn't even know any thing happened till the new last evening

That was one small tractor hide under. It did the job though.

Rolla was hit pretty hard. My sister lives there and her friend had extensive home damage. Vicious storms. Gerard
