More tornado pics...
Apr. 13th, 2011 11:47 pmThere are a great series of pictures from The Wausau Daily Herald on the aftermath and clean up for the tornado. I thought I'd share.
Merrill Tornado 135 pics from Monday, the day after the tornado. Most of this damage wasn't by my folks. The pines took a hell of a beating.
Storm Damages from the Sky 18 pictures of the damage to the Industrial Park and the pine forests that were leveled. There are several houses that were taken out, too. The houses/forest damage pictured here was off of Pier Street and happened after the Industrial Park was hit.
Tuesday Clean Up 27 pictures taken on Tuesday of the damage and work being done. Everyone working are volunteers. They brought their own trucks, saws, gas, food... It pays to live in a town where most everyone owns a chainsaw and know how to use it. Most of these pictures were taken within a quarter of my parents house -- and you've probably seen me post my pictures of the damage. The clean up is going fairly well.
Wednesday Clean Up 23 pictures from Wednesday of the continued work. The best thing about this set of pictures is that they all have captions that explain more about them. Plus the pictures of the Swendrzynskis are amazing with how well they are coping.
There was also this wonderful video from The Weather Channel that starts out with a truly scary shot of the tornado taken off of I39. At this point it had already taken out the Industrial Park, airport, the houses of the people who are in the rest of the video and a whole hell of a lot of trees. In the next minute or so it crossed Hwy K, just south of where I grew up. The people in the video are amazing.
I have to admit that the all the reporting done on this really shows Merrill's best side. These are the people that I know and love, my neighbors. Yeah. We are that good, especially when the chips are down.
( And because I can't stop watching them, more videos: )
