This house was not hit directly. It lost shingles and maybe a window. One of their barns behind the house (would be to the left of the house in this pic) was badly damaged.

view of right side of road as I approach my place. This is just a pasture--it's being built into a subdivision soon, which is why the dirt is all mounded up. You can see my silo in the background. Ordinarily, you would only see the top ten feet of it from this perspective.

My house is to the left.

This officer was one of many people who dug through the rubble for me from afternoon 'til after dark, I'm told. Neighbors say there were lots of police and firemen looking for me.

The cop car is at the SW corner of the building. The warehouse and office were perpendicular to the shop/shipping/rug room areas, thus making a big "L" shaped building.

Basically, I'm standing outside the long South wall of the warehouse looking across warehouse (it's 20' across to the other wall) to the back yard.

Same shot as previous, only showing all of silo.

View of street side of shop building. The car is my own--an ex-squad car. Front entrance is at the right of the building. This is the SW corner of the building.

Road I drove in on is seen at right. I drove (North) toward the right of this photo. Large white barn (needing paint though) stood just left of center. Brown rectangle is hull of houseboat.

Across street near center house is destroyed (look above the minivan).

Blue silo is approx 150 feet away near back corner of shop.

If you stand this door up, it's exactly where it belongs. It was welded to the steel building's frame, which is now twisted up about 50 feet to the left (well a lot of it is there, but pieces of this building were found miles away).

The white door is the door to the bathroom.

Standing in the shop, about 30 feet inside front door. On right you see industrial shelving racks. Center, counters from shipping center.
