BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) - A southern Indiana mobile home park flattened last year by a tornado has been rebuilt by its owner and its tenants.
Residents are moving back in to the Full Moon Farm Mobile Home Park, which was hit May 25, 2011, by a tornado that destroyed nine of its 10 mobile homes. The storm left the 21-year-old son of the park's owner with cuts when the tornado's 110-mph winds smashed one of the homes.
The Herald-Times reports ( http://bit.ly/JvjrdW ) that in the year since the storm 275 tons of debris have been removed and all nine of the smashed the Bloomington-area mobile homes have been replaced.
Park owner Sam Mason says ingenuity, his faith and $600,000 in long-awaited disaster loans from the Small Business Administration fueled the reconstruction project.
