Just saw this story on Fox. The reporter told of an 89 yo lady who is still missing. He was standing in her "garage" on the concrete, he walked up her steps into her kitchen, then showed her carpet, then walked back to something I had spotted....an antique Singer Sewing Machine sitting pretty in its Cabinet, UNTOUCHED AND UNMOVED! There were no walls left in her home. This sweet lady was a volunteer at the hospital which could be seen in the distance which was so damaged it is closed.

This SWEET GIVING 89 year old lady has yet to be found. So sad...no rhyme or reason to these terrible storms!

Oh my gosh, I hope she is in a nearby hospital and just hasn't been identified yet. That's unreal that her sewing machine is untouched. I hope she is alive and will be fine.

Tornadoes do strange things. They can destroy one home and leave another beside it unharmed. I hope they find that dear lady.

Wouldn't that be wonderful. She apparently loved sewing/quilting on it. Looked like nothing else she had is worth saving.

That is so devastating. I saw that on the news also. Hope she is found safe and sound. Hope someone save the machine for her.
