SALVAGING TORNADO RUBBLE | SAVING VINTAGE KEEPSAKES | DAWSON SPRINGS, KENTUCKY | DECEMBER 10, 2021

PICKING THROUGH DESTRUCTION FOR FAMILY ANTIQUES | KENTUCKY TORNADO DAMAGE

What do you rescue from a tornado damaged house when looters are in the area and there’s scant daylight hours? The mega tornado that hit Dawson Springs, Kentucky just a few days ago condemned my 95-year old friend’s lifelong residence, and we have the grim task of picking what we can in short order.

Sadly, I’ve been called on before to help families quickly dig through their remaining possessions, and years of conducting estate sales has taught me what and where to look for things of import at a time like this. So we roll up our sleeves and do what we can to preserve important memories, papers and useful things to help this victim of the massive Kentucky tornadoes.

Passing through the flattened neighborhood, we see more of the extent of the devastation this poor town has endured. Arriving at the remains of my friend’s house, we determine what are the priorities: medicine, food and important papers and things with personal information are first on the list.

While family deal with those items, I’m left to ferret out the antiques, vintage items and family heirlooms…a cedar chest full of 1950s baby clothes, family photos, ancestral hand-me-downs and personal ephemera; a china cabinet with grandma’s favorite keepsakes; vintage kitchen items, favorite pictures and furnishings that will help my friend set up a new home with familiar old things to help him recover from this disaster fill my van.

We find a storage unit in a neighboring town to safely keep these important objects, and thank Providence for the opportunity to have rescued them when so many people have lost everything in this vicious, record breaking tornado.
