On June 12, 1899, a tornado hit the town of New Richmond in western Wisconsin, not too far from where I live. And while it wasn’t a huge tornado, it hit the afternoon of the first day of a circus and the deadly path claimed 117 lives and injured 150 others making it the 9th deadliest tornado in US history.
And two different tornado hit my home farm, each time it took down a barn, and both times it was on June 12, so when the skies darkened again this afternoon, I wondered if I should skedaddle out of the area.

Guess you get a little uneasy on June 12th ?
