Recently, tornadoes seem to be finding the Crocker family. Last night, it was my turn. Tornado sirens greeted me on the way home from class last night. I then had the "wonderful" Kansas experience of hanging out in a hallway bathroom as an E4 tornado (the second strongest) ripped through Manhattan. I find the destruction of tornadoes surreal. My neighborhood went completely unscathed, but other parts of Manhattan were not so lucky. I need to drive only a few minutes out of my neighborhood to see complete destruction.
Two neighborhoods were hard hit--30 houses were completely destroyed. K-State sustained serious damage estimated at 20 million dollars. One of our Hardware stores was completely flattened. Here are pictures of the aftermath in Manhattan and on the K-State campus.
This is actual video of the tornado. I believe it is taken from a web cam on top of a building at K-State that sustained serious damage.
