Bright, warm sunlight peeped through the clouds briefly on Easter Sunday as John and Carol Cuneo took advantage of a break in the rain showers to survey the mess at their Folsom Jonesville Road home.
Twenty-four hours earlier, John Cuneo watched a tornado touch down in his side yard, veer around a barn and head for his house.
“I was standing on the back deck and I heard this woo, woo, woo sound and then I saw it sit down right there,” he said, pointing to the barn about 200 feet from his wooden, frame home.
