A serious note here.. A member of the the Pinside community, Ron Woodard, who goes by Woody76 was in the tornado that ripped through the Nashville area recently. I was at his house purchasing my first EM pin from him recently and he was very friendly and helpful throughout the deal. He had a nice set up in the basement of his house with numerous pins, but unfortunately his neighborhood and house was struck by the twister. I don’t know if anyone in his family was hurt but he did pass on that his house was destroyed. I hope we at Pinside can offer some support to him. If someone on this website is close to him please let us know what we can do to help.

It wasn’t me, it was Ron Woodard who was in the storm. I experienced the Marion IL. tornado when I was younger and unless you’ve been through one you really can’t comprehend the amount of devastation they can do. This one in Nashville was particularly deadly.
