Grain Bin Ruins A Thanksgiving

I guess this falls between news and what-in-the-world. A family in Iowa lives next to a brand new grain silo. What could happen?


Astounding. I wonder what the girl is thinking. "'Move to Iowa!' they said. 'It's safer here,' they said." "Well, if we ever find the turkey..."

How could you possibly explain this to your friends or out-of-town family coming for Thanksgiving? A grain bin fell on our house? I wonder if their grandkids would even believe this story. "We were watching TV and then a half-million bushels (17,619.5 cubic meters) of corn came into our living room, knocking our house off it's foundation and putting us in our neighbor's yard." Their progeny would think them senile.
