Before The Big Wind - This is the home of Fire Capt. and Mrs. William McKiernan of Yukon Ave., Worcester, as it looked before the tornado struck. It was completely wrecked, but fortunately the McKiernans and their eight children were not seriously hit. Now, thanks to the Central Massachusetts Tornado Relief Fund, the family is getting back on its feet again.
