Extremestunts in trouble

Stuck in building. Power line blocking exit. It's crazy our office secretary's car-she almost died! If it wasn't for co-worker telling her to stay in. Maybe not but the lines have fubared her car. I wonder if I can post pic of downed poll & lines on car and building from cell phone?

We are stuck.

Wasn't there, but went down to help clean up the day after and took some pictures.















I have another album somewhere that I can't find right now..Cars flipped over on top of eachother on campus, unrooted trees impaling Waters Hall, and some neighborhood in southwest Manhattan that was completely destroyed..

Another one?  Proof God is not a K-State fan.

Seriously, there's like no clouds in the area.  How unlucky do you have to be to get tornadoed by this little storm?

SIGNIFICANT STORM DAMAGE AT K-STATE DUE TO WIND AND MICROBURST

MANHATTAN -- A late afternoon storm with damaging winds caused significant losses to trees and some damage to buildings on the Kansas State University campus.

K-State police Capt. Don Stubbings estimated that the tree damage near Anderson and Eisenhower Halls was nearly as bad as that of the 2007 tornado.

"The damage in that small area resulted in tree loss similar to what we experienced on campus a few years ago due to the tornado," Stubbings said.

Anderson Hall also sustained roof damage, Stubbings said. No estimates of cost damage are available at this time.




 :surprised: my apartment's near there :surprised:
