It hit campus.  Had a couple of friends in the vet school who could hear it.  Fatty continued to post even while the sirens were going off.  What a trooper.

I don't want tornados or anything.  But if there are warnings, there better be at least a good strong storm.  Although I would like to see a tornado at some point in my life.  31 years in this state and I've never seen one.

From KSU official information:  Cardwell and Ward damaged.  Weber's wind erosion lab destroyed.

"Rathbone Hall, known for it's glass roof, has no roof anymore. Ward Hall, home of a nuclear reactor, has been damaged. "

A severe thunderstorm?  a Twister?  a Terrorist Tornado?   That's what some people in the blogosphere are saying about this latest round of severe weather.

I live on the corner of claflin and university right next to the DU house. I saw the tornado that hit campus, it was just a wee little guy but it sure did &@#% some crap up. I just got done driving around the few streets that werent blocked off. Lee St school is torn up pretty bad, I couldnt see if there was any structural damage but the fence around it is gone and there are tree's all over the place. The Farm House fraternity has a bunch of downed tree's in their yard but I didnt see any damage to the house. There was an apartment complex next to farmhouse that lost part of its roof. Thats about all I got, should be plenty of pictures tomorrow.

btw, do you all think everything will be left damaged, so we can tour more?

Can't you see Doc following the claims adjusters around campus, "Say, ah, I'll get you a night of twister and baby oil in Ford Hall if you bump that up by another million or 2"

the latter was kinda what I was thinking ...

KSU folks outside of Manhattan, as most of us are not in Lawrence.

I was surprised there wasn't even any kind of admin announcement, though!

Especially since it hit parts of the actual campus ...

Folks, we need to talk about this more, so it will improve things . . . also, could the Admins put up some kind of "tacked" post about this, so again, we can all feel better about ourselves.

In all seriousness Doc Wefald and the KSU administration has been all over this.  They'd already been to Topeka to brief the Regents, and the Governors Chief of Staff before the press conference back in Manhattan. They've already sent the K-State jet to DC to big up a congressional delegation to fly them back to Kansas. 

They've done a good job from what I can tell.

Insurance fraud is prolly the quickest way to the $35 million we need to raise.

the latter was kinda what I was thinking ...

KSU folks outside of Manhattan, as most of us are not in Lawrence.

I was surprised there wasn't even any kind of admin announcement, though!

Especially since it hit parts of the actual campus ...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Folks, we need to talk about this more, so it will improve things . . . also, could the Admins put up some kind of "tacked" post about this, so again, we can all feel better about ourselves. 

Some of us at the KSU board live in Manhattan and don't have internet/electricity/trees in yard or complete roofs assholes.

The best thing for KSU would've been if it hit the stadium. Very few people go there and they could use the insurance money to clean up the litter box and get rid of the stench..

It's good to go (BOOYAH!). Drove past it this morning on my way to a 4 dollar mcdonalds breakfast combo. That seems like a lot of dough but I was slightly hungover and I kind of like the Sausage Mcmuffin w/ egg. BTW- McDonalds was still there.

Well I've been looking at some old Tornado info and I had almost forgotten about our beloved June 11, 2008 MHK outbreak.  This Tornado ended up being rated an EF4, which is incredibly &@#%ing scary on the Enhanced oh &@#% scale.  It means winds approached 200mph and created nearly total devastation.  (just shy of the EF5 Greensburg Tornado)   :runaway:

This video kick ass:

I went to MHK one time this year but I didn't have time to survey the damage area.  So how are things getting on around town?

They've still been fixing campus this whole semester. A couple weeks ago they were doing roofing over by the nuclear reactor. Walking by that smelled like total crap because of this. Now, the entire back of Williard in the quad is being torn up and worked on. Not sure if that's from the tornader but still I don't think tKSU has fully recovered yet.
