I heard on the news last night that a tornado hit a barn full of old tractors near Champaign, Illinois. They didn't have any pictures, it was just a comment the weatherman made during his report. Truth or Fiction? Anyone have any details?

lots of people hat Ford, kinda a long running joke

Whats the difference between a Ford and a golf ball? You can drive a golf ball 200 yards

That storm was on the Champaign and Douglas county line near Pesotum, IL. I saw the pictures, but it looked to me like maybe 3 or 4 tractors. One was a perfect JD 4020 that probably hasn't worked a day in 10 years.

don't know why a tornado would care what was in the barn. Any I've seen kinda cut a swath where they want.

Here in Kansas it's the same way, they don't care where they go. Wish they would have some manners.

Found a link....

Sounds like a couple of tractors, a Corvette and a Riviera were damaged. No injuries to anyone at that particular location.
