Wayne, NE

[Ardis Eschenberg]

I spoke with my Saunsoci family yesterday, and they are all fine.  It went right through the area near the school in Macy.  Catherine, Iʻm really glad to hear you guys were spared.  Scary weather.

Best,
Ardis

Our little airport was damaged and a number of small manufacturing businesses and warehouses and a convenience store were more or less flattened. Our vet's office lost its roof, and there was considerable damage to the countryside just east of Wayne: a few houses, trees, crops.  Fortunately the industrial park was almost deserted at 5:30 on a Friday afternoon; everyone had just clocked out and gone home, so most of the damage was to empty buildings; no people around to be hurt.  One friend of ours was pretty badly injured; caught in his car, now hospitalized with multiple broken bones and other injuries, but apparently going to be ok.
