Blue trailer in 40 x 60 building
Steel building

The big tree stump
There were no animals around for about five days after the tornado. Buzzards and songbirds were the first to return.
2-story barn
I thought it was interesting the way the grass pulled up in one big mat.

Looking North, along the hill.
Looking West, down the hill at the shop & office
Looking up the hill, facing NE
This is an old barn with headholds for the cows.
Someone else's lawn chair.
Looking down the hill

Facing E, near the top of the hill at the back of the property.
Steel and office papers
Facing N
The trailer does not appear to have moved much if at all from where it was parked.
Facing N, standing near back foundation wall.
This is the 40x60 steel building shown earlier. Note the steel is wrapped around the trees.
Camera is facing WSW.
Note also that the building had to move off its foundation, swing around to the left, then back, then to the right in order to be in this position now.

Facing NE by 2-story barn near back of property.
Facing NE near back of property.
These are the remains of a 2-story barn (about 40 x 50). This barn was unique in that it had a wooden first floor (as opposed to just dirt). Camera is facing SW.
Facing NE. Here you can see both foundations of the corn crib. You could drive a tractor between the two halves.
Facing ~NNE. Corn crib is one of three barns on top of the hill near the back of the property.
I don't know where the car battery came from. Probably stored in one of the barns.
This was one of the vertical walls in the corn crib (huge 2-story barn w/drive-through). Camera is facing ~ N
Debris is from barns, office and neighbors.
Visible are six vehicles. Not visible is the cop car, which is on the other side of the building.
My office was to the left and behind the black car.
Hanging in the tree at left is one of my photography catalogs. The white steel tube is about six or eight feet long, and came from behind the shop (I think).
Note that the trees have no leaves. It looks like Winter.
To the left and behind this barn is the single barn which remains standing (of seven on the property).
This was found near the back of my property, which means the chair had to have come, at minimum, from someone's patio, across their yard, across the street, at least 100 yds across my property.
I later found another chair and patio table in the field behind my neighbor's (Golden's) house, an additional 100 yds at least!
Facing ~West, looking back at the silo. The shop sat mostly to the left of the silo.
This is a piece of corrogated steel from one of the two steel buildings. The buildings were made in 1955, so the steel is probably three times thicker/heavier than what's used today.
The brown roof at right is the only barn still standing, and it's severely damaged.
This is perhaps 100 yds from the NE corner of the property
