Wayne, NE

[Catherine Rudin]

Thanks, Ardis.
I had heard there was some damage in Macy, but no details.  Mostly
mobile homes destroyed, according to the Omaha paper.  Glad the Saunsoci
family are ok.  Yes, scary weather, and with Colorado floods and high
plains blizzards lots of members of the list have been impacted.

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

Thanks Catherine.  Glad to hear everyone came through, and mostly OK. 
 

I also just saw on the "crawl" at the bottom of the CNN screen that Macy
Nebraska, HQ of the Omaha Tribe, was hit about the same time last night.
 There were two injuries but no fatalities according to the news
channel.   
 

I hope the weather is treating Oklahoma better.  This is the weekend of
the Kaw Pow Wow.

Hi, everyone.
I am fine and so is Ali and our house and the college.  Thanks for
thinking of us.

The tornado passed about a mile from us, through the "industrial park"
(Yes, Wayne has an Industrial Park, those of you who've been here at a
couple of Siouan and Caddoan colleges will be amazed to hear.)  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.

Over in our part of town we had golf-ball hail and a few tree limbs
down, lost power for a while; no real damage considering the size of the
storm. 

Bob, do you have my current email?  (carudin1 at wsc.edu)
It's very odd that your message bounced; I've been getting about the
normal flow of email all day; servers haven't been down or anything. 

Anyway, thanks for your concern and greetings to all--
Catherine

Folks,

I just saw on CNN that Wayne, NE has had an F4 tornado.  I sent
Catherine Rudin a message inquiring about her and her family but the
University server there bounced the message.  I know we all hope that
they are all right.
