A week ago {June 24th Tornado}

We watched the storm out the kitchen window not knowing how bad it really was

The sirens never went off

I read posts on face book about all the damage
so I decided we better leave early to get Spencer from orchestra camp

Parker and I couldn't believe all the tree limbs down on Cedar St.

When we got to West Middle School, 

we had to pull limbs to the side of the parking lot just so cars could pull in

We drove up Highway 61 and saw the devastation

5 semis overturned on Highway 61
This picture was taken by the ALLSTEEL building

There is a storage facility to the right of the State Farm office
This camper was thrown and tore to shreds 

The tornado did significant damage to the Krieger's Collison Center
An employee of 30 years lost his life during the storm

Lots of trees splintered at Weed Park

The fence in the back of Menards was damaged
and the glass doors in the front on the store blew out

Calvary church was also damaged by the tornado

The auditorium collapsed and the roof and air conditioning unit were battered
The congregation won't be able to attend church in the building until at least December

There were many homes damaged by falling trees and many were without electricity


We are so thankful it wasn't any worse

We will keep the family and friends of Wayne Haury in our prayers
