Tornado Tears Through Kansas State

This evening I received the news that my alma mater was struck by an EF4 tornado last night. The storm tore through the city of Manhattan and caused $20 Million in damages at the university. Many of the buildings that were damaged were ones I spent a significant amount of time in when I was there. Most of the time these stories seem so far away but this one struck a little closer to home and I’m thankful that there appears to be no serious injuries at the university. Unfortunately two people were killed in town just outside of Manhattan. You can see photos (like the one below) from the storm at the Manhattan Mercury’s website…
