This porch also was the cover for a cistern full of rain water. I always like watching the rain and lightning in the West Virginia mountains, but this one sent me flying through the kitchen screen door (and I mean THROUGH the door), scaring my mother to death and bringing our neighbor, who was a first aid guy at a local plant, to give me mouth to mouth. My mother swears he bought me back of the dead because my mouth and face were turning blue. It was quite an experience that everyone in high school made fun of, right up to my graduation day.
