About this listen

Joyce Ferratt of Abingdon will tell some of her memories of the 1944 tornado that hit downtown and heavily damaged her childhood home and Abingdon Academy up on the hill (an event that hit the New York Times). Her memories will come from her 6-year old perspective of that event. She will also read a letter her mother wrote to her grandmother describing the damages to the home.

Recorded in the Tumbling Creek Cider Company's Taproom on April 13, 2025.

Audio was recorded and produced by Leigh Anne Hunter, WEHC 90.7 FM Emory.
