Filming / Pop Culture Location Private – View From Public Area Off the beaten path

The first scene of the movie starts out at the house of Jo and her parents. The house is destroyed by a tornado which also takes the life of Jo's father.nnThe house is no longer at this location and nothing really remains to find where it once stood other than a power pole that connected to the house, a water tank, and an old gate at the front of the property. This location is down a dirt road and we would not recommend going here in a Dodge Challenger
