Tornado Pix 2

 Hello again! I told everyone in the last post that I would have pictures of the destruction that happened in Edgar Springs. Above is the pictures of the Fuel 63 gas station. It was the craziest thing to see that building blown away like that!
The Fox News team was out there with their camera guy and reporter.

Behind the gas station was all the roofing and other things that had ripped apart

What a mess... 

Look at how this brick wall was bent from the wind! Incredible!

Wow... It was overwhelming standing there and looking at what a
bunch of wind can do to a building

The funniest thing was that there was still stuff stocked on the shelves
that hadn't gotten knocked over when the whole building was blown in! :P

Won't be using those doors anymore.. 


"Tornado" is what people decided to name a stray cat that showed up at
the gas station shortly after it was hit. The cat was so friendly! 

Some kind of trailer, smashed and blown over

Our neighbor's barn... There isn't anything left sadly... It was a
really neat, old barn too...

A huge, dead tree fell on one of our gates and as you can't see, smashed it completely!

There are so many trees that look like this all over the farm. It's going to take quite a bit of
clean up and burning to get rid of everything. At least the nice spring weather is coming
so it will be good weather for lots of yard work. :) 
That's it for the pictures from the tornado. I've got some more pictures from that day of fun things that we kids did outside. That day had TONS of STRONG winds so we had a blast outside. I'll post those later. :) Peace out! Have a wonderful day! :)
