Well we made it for day two of the camp. Girls are still playing pretty well. You can tell they are getting tired though.
When we left we came out the back way to get to HWY 74. I knew the tornado had gone through the area a few weeks back but nothing prepared me for the destruction I was about to view. The Falcon Lake area where the mother had covered her three kids in a bathtub was along this road. Two of her three kids were killed. To describe the area even three weeks out is difficult. Stuff everywhere. Every tree leveled. Most homes gone from their foundations. The few that had parts standing were pretty unrecognizable. Cars and trucks just beat to unrecognition. The hard part for me is how a home can be standing looking untouched and then 1/10 of a mile down the road complete destruction for a tenth of a mile then farther 1/10 of a mile another house untouched. Very disturbing to me thinking about that poor mother. Just so sad. It also looked pretty deserted like no one wanted to come back.
