A grain bin and several outbuildings were destroyed and a home damaged when a tornado touched down in Ringgold
county Sunday evening as a storm system moved through the area. The damage was reported at the farm of Jim and
Patty POLLOCK, six and one-fourth miles north of Mount Ayr. If there is a tornado alley in Ringgold county,
the POLLOCKS feel they are in it. This is the ninth time since 1951 that their property as been touched by one
of the powerful storms.
