Perhaps you've already seen this, but it's too good not to share again. In other Woonsocket news, Hannah appears in this month's Providence Monthly, and Woonsocket stars as Home of Derelicts on Oprah.
      Meanwhile, in Missouri, a tornado blew through with damage to Branson and a dead tree uprooted at Frank and Dianne's place.  "We did have a big blow (even went to the basement), but no tornado, reports Dianne.  "Branson got clobbered as did Puxico, Mo.  I talked to our trainer who lives near Puxico, and she said they found one man in a field a couple of miles from his home.  Remarkably, he was alive."  Meanwhile, Frank was on Journalist Alert. "I sat with my three radios, three flashlights, two sets of car keys, two cameras and two packages of peanut butter crackers. I was preparing to cover my part of a tornado." He had the classic journalists' response to the local false alarm: "Bummer."
