Tornado

Last sunday, an EF 5 tornado destroyed the towns of parkersberg, dike, and new hartford. Its the first time that a tornado actually killed someone, actually seven people died. I didnt think much about it at the time, but we went up there as a baseball team one week after the torando had been through. The destruction was unbeilvable. The tornado was a mile wide as touched down for forty one miles. The torando actually went through the town, which is pretty suprising. I had played baseball on the field like a month before the situation happened and I remember there were a lot of really nice houses all the down the right field line, but when we returned, the was only rubble where the houses use to stand. There are only 1800 people that live there and 220 houses were completely destroyed and 200 were severley damaged, I wonder how many more houses there were. One guy who we had been assigned to help told us that all of the animals in town had either been killed when the tornado hit or died several hours later due to severe injuries. The tornado also hit the school directly. Our job was to clear all of these old things out of this farm so the new weight facility could be built because the other one had been demolished. It was just sad.

I hope you in someway you can help those people out.
