This one is going to be personal, but that’s what happens when several tornadoes rip through your home town. Wednesday afternoon storms caused a ton of destruction across my home town of Kokomo on Wednesday. You might have seen the video of the Starbucks collapsing on the news, but it did a lot more.
Starting on the west side of the city the E3 tornado wiped out the PAL athletic fields. My grandfather’s home is less than a quarter mile from this and my parents were probably about a mile away. It then continued east and hit the plant where my brother-in-law works, wiped out the golf course near my elementary school, took out some apartments where friends used to live, and hit the Starbucks less than a mile from where my nephew was working at the time.
