On Friday Laren had an appointment with a Dermatologist in Greeley. And so we all went with for a short little get-away and on our way home we swung North and went through Windsor to tour the destruction of last months tornado.
It was so interesting to see how one neighborhood was badly damaged and another next to it only seemed to have some missing shingles from the roofs of the houses.
Take a look at what we saw:
A Multifamily Housing Unit
We thought this message on the house was interesting, there were several houses painted with similar messages on them. One house was a message thanking volunteers. Kallie's stake and the Ft. Collins and Loveland Stakes (including Doug) went and helped clean up from the damage 2 weekends in a row.
On one Sunday they went to a chapel for just Sacrament Mtg. at 7am and then they worked a 12 hour shift until 7:30pm. The Relief Society came and fed 600 men lunch in a neighboring park. The number of volunteers was amazing!
You can see the kitchen in this house because all of the back walls are gone.
This was somewhat of a freak tornado, that it hit in the morning, that it went in a Northwesterly direction and it was somewhat early in the season to get one. And typically, the tornado's don't come this far West, but they obviously have the potential to. You can never be for sure, for sure anyway!

That is scary. The writing reminds me of when we went back to New Orleans after Katrina.
Good grief. Funny messages to the insurance. You wonder how the insurance companies are doing after Katrina and things like this. I love the pictures on your side bar. Did you do a special pose with a new wedding dress?
Wow! Crazy stuff. Can't believe all the damage. Those poor people. Can you imagine being in Iowa and all the states that are getting flood damage. Sad times. Thanks for the pictures.
