opps somehow this didn't publish on the 17th.
So on Friday Max sent some photos of them putting the trusses back up on the reinforced heifer barn. All that's left is putting the steel back on the roof. That's the post I was going to write over the weekend. There's even video.
If you are trying to figure out what that is, it's what Max saw when he walked out of the milkhouse after the tornado hit. Sounds like it was pretty scary in there waiting for it to be over. No one was injured at the farm or the village. In the village ten house lost roofing sheets, (sceifer, the cement/asbestos most people have) and one lost the entire roof, trusses and all.
The farm was hit bad. as you can see in these photos. The hay shed went down, the steel that was supposed to go back on the heifer shed is twisted, the other heifer barn lost some steel off the roof, and the sceifer was torn off the roof of the dairy barn. Two cows were injured and had to be slaughtered. A board went through the window of the van.
They are busy cleaning up, the roof will need to be replaced before winter on the milking barn. You can see the new dry cow shed they were building looks intact, and the heifer barns, except for the steel. Thankfully no one was hurt. Who would think that in the middle of a war, we'd have a natural disaster at the farm...
