We went to St. John on Sunday to help clean up for Grandma Waddle after her surgery. We got to see a lot of the mess that the tornado made. It stripped a bunch of trees and there was debris in several areas, telephone poles snapped in half, trees uprooted.
We stopped in Yoder, a Mennonite/Amish community just outside of Wichita. We showed the kids their buggies and horse teams all "parked" while they were inside for church. I love the caution signs on the back. They are necessary because they will cross the interstate on those things. Kindof like Frogger but with a horse and buggy.
There were so many trees stripped bare and snapped in half and some were uprooted altogether.
there were telephone poles ripped off and lying in the fields, along with power lines
There was metal debris thrown all around too. As you ca see it is twisted and bent in many ways
The scene from Ryan's Grandparents' front porch wasn't much better. There was a whole sheet of siding or a door or something across the road, plus the pivots that water the fields were knocked upside down. The roof on the house across the field was ripped off which you can see with binoculars
And of course the drive home the kids were happy snuggling with Tobie and watching a movie in the car. It doesn't take much at that age.
