Monson Man Loses House To Tornado 6 Months After Losing Wife
MONSON (CBS) - Russell Bressette rushed to his basement, clasped to a couple embedded pipes, and held tight as a tornado ripped apart the home above him Wednesday night.
"I heard the train, and I'll tell ya, there's nothing like that train. As the train came in the back of the house, I ran down cellar and...the house went right off the foundation," said Bressette.
On Wednesday night in the middle of the worst tornado outbreak in Massachusetts in more than 50 years, he lost his home on Stewart Avenue in Monson.
WBZ-TV's Paul Burton reports.
"God was good to me. He took my house, but he left me," said Bressette. "That's all I can ask for. These are material things."
It's been a tough six months for Bressette, who lost his wife last December.
"It's unfortunate that I lost my wife in December, but we found a lot of the pictures, so that's all I had left of her," said Bressette.
