Demolished houses, crumpled water towers, and windswept cars were left in the deadly twister’s wake.
“There are homes completely leveled, down to the slabs,” Risgby said. “The water tower in town completely buckled and fell to the ground. I saw four or five cars on top of a pile of rubble, of what I think used to be a home, but I can’t tell.”
As of Saturday morning, residents have been instructed to continue to shelter in place while search and rescue operations and medical support are dispatched.
