So I wake up this morning to my cellphone vibrating and ringing like crazy. I had gotten a bunch of e-mails, text messages, and voice messages about a tornado that hit Manhattan and a few neighboring areas. Had I heard? Did I know anyone that got hurt? Were my friends alright? I immediately got online to check out what had happened. I couldn’t find much information aside from a few stories on CNN and MSNBC and a few other news outlets, but they were largely all saying the same thing. None of them had pictures so I hopped on Facebook to see if my friends had posted any. Luckily, my friend Karla sent out a mass e-mail of some photos she took of the damage. I went ahead and posted them below for you all to check out. If anyone has any other information, please leave a comment so others who venture here can know as much as possible about the whole ordeal. I hope everyone is OK!
**UPDATE: My friend Susan told me there are a lot of pics over at WIBW, check em out. Loading is a bit slow – I imagine there’s a lot of traffic at the moment. She also sent me a few pics her mom took which I added (her parents live in Manhattan. Thankfully they are fine!)
My buddy Frankie also went out today and snapped some photos. Here’s the URL to his facebook photo album.
Thanks to Kevin for pointing out this video of the tornado:

I heard that True Value is GONE and then the remnants were looted. Lots of trees down all over. First the ice storm now the tornado. Mother nature may have it in for the non-indigenous trees in Manhattan.
Is the 4th pic from the bottom of the trailer park off of Tuttle? I hope not… completely leveled…
Yea, my friend works down near True Value and he says its gone. Most of the cars at Little Apple Toyota were pretty messed up too. He also said the National Guard got deployed on Seth Child to stop looting, crazy stuff! Anyone know of anyone who got hurt or anything like that?
According to Susan, the 4th (now 8th) pic from the bottom is what’s left of True Value
