The Wild Wild (Mid)West

Thus far vacation has been wet. We made it safely into Des Moines about midnight Saturday night. It was great to see all of the family, but the weather has been wicked wild. I am sure it made national news that Parkersburg, Iowa got hammed by an F5 tornado. It's amazing with all of the destruction more lives were not taken. The fields are littered with bank statements and photos more than 150 miles away.

Here is some video of Parkersburg via youtube. The stories are amazing. One family had a custom storm shelter built. When they walked out their basement was as clean as the day they moved in. This thing was a monster, almost a mile wide. the second video is rough but scroll to the end. The destruction is unreal.
