More detail is now available on the Dumas tornado. Looks like it first hit about a hundred yards away from my old grade school (and right next to old Highway 65 and the rail road tracks) and then moved across new residential developments until it crossed the current Highway 65 and creamed what used to be the Wal-Mart. There was a mysterious abandoned hotel we used to regularly scare ourselves driving past in the area, I imagine it's finally been blown away by this thing.

It's nice to hear major businesses are making a commitment to rebuild. Getting declared a major disaster area will do that for you, I suppose. This article also includes the first quote from a name I actually remember, Dwight Hill (a family friend who once lived near us).

Finally, A Minnesota (of all places) news team has more video. Looks like the McD's I worked at in my college years was 'asploded and the Pizza Hut I worked at in High School was knocked around a bit. Bad luck to hire me, I suppose!
