Newton Falls community gathers for Tornado Walk
NEWTON FALLS, Ohio (WKBN) — The community gathered Saturday in Newton Falls to tour the village and visit sites that were damaged from the 1985 tornado outbreak in honor of its 40th anniversary.
The Tornado Walk included stops at the First Church of God, Veterans Park, and the Bash Home. Many shared stories of what they remember about the places and events during the storms.
Some shared their personal experiences of witnessing the tornadoes.
'I looked out the front porch. I saw the tornado coming. My two boys were in the bathtub getting their baths, and I hollered at my wife, and I grabbed the two kids under each arm. We headed for the basement,' said George Paisley, a Newton Falls resident.
Paisley said the tornado took the foundation of his house, the garage to his home and his car.
