| I was working on a project in Peck, which is just south of Haysville. It was a few days before we could get to the job site. and we had no damage. Driving north on Meridian Ave to Clearwater road was start of damage. On SE corner, 4 homes were completely gone. Vehicles looked like you had played basketball with them. One home had chain link fence on three sides. Tornado pulled it all up in one piece and made into a ball about 8' in dia. I don't think a car crusher could squeeze it much more. However, on the NW corner of intersection, there were a couple plastic lawn chairs under a shade tree that never moved. Very few leaves in yard even. A friend's sisters house was destroyed in Haysville. Everything gone from a 4 bedroom house but a glass china cabinet untouched where the dining room used to be.
Unbelievable power and precision at the same time. | |
