Prior to May 31, 1985, Cindy Laverty’s only experience with a tornado came from watching the musical fantasy film “The Wizard of Oz.”That changed 40 years ago when an F5 tornado struck Wheatland, where Cindy was attending a baseball game with her four children. As they tried to escape, the violent storm twice picked up their car, killing her 6-year-old son, Adam, who days earlier had graduated from kindergarten in Farrell. kAm%@52J[ r:?5J 2?5 96C 9FD32?5[ r92C=6D[ H9@ =:G6 :?
