“There is an aesthetic to American rural housing… Every home is a patriotic statement, a miniature White House, America Personified.”
Maybe after a paint job this one might look a little more ‘White House’.
This is Boyd House, c. 1853, in what is now downtown Jackson. It’s ‘Greek Revival’ style.
It was about now that the radio broadcasts we were listening to in the car were interrupted by an emergency response system announcement by the Jackson National Weather Service. It sounded like something one would expect to hear during Armageddon; all blips and squawks, followed by a computerised mechanical voice reading reports on areas likely to experience a tornado. This is when we began to wonder how to form a Tornado Action Plan since the radio had made us beleive we were the only ones in the state without one. Best we could come up with was to take shelter at the bar
at a steakhouse. Seems to have blown over now…
