Tornado visits Kaukauna!!
Click to read the Newspaper Article
On June 23rd 3 tornados hit the Fox Valley.  One came dangerously close to our apartment.  We watched it come towards us until it was a couple hundred yards away and the debris was flying everywhere.  We then hid for a minute or so.  When I looked outside again, it had turned to the north and tore up a bunch of trees at the entry of our complex about 150 yards away.  I always wanted to see a tornado but I don't care to see another one.
Pics from Video During the Tornado
The tornado is mostly past and I am peaking out, debris is still flying everywhere.
If it had waited another minute to turn north, we would have been right in the middle.
It's in the distance but still very loud
Pics at 1 p.m. the following day
The Kaukauna industrial park was hit  pretty hard, the building in the distance was ripped in half.
The entrance of our complex, the square on the left is what's left of "Welcome to Lamplighter"
This building by the entrance was pushed over by the trees hitting it
The street by our place was a mess.  Chainsaw sales were through the roof!
This building received a complimentry ventilation system.
Pics 2 days later
all of these photos were shot at the apartment complex entrance 150 yards from our door
A replacement sign was quickly put up but "Luxury Apartments" doesn't jive with what the entrance looks like!
Incredible!  This tree gets mangled and the others don't look like they were touched??
Ooops!
This tree was twisted off and somehow carried past the tree behind it?????
