Mom & Dad had a little excitement last night. A tornado went through the southwest side of Wilmar about a 1/2 mile from their home and took out three houses, rearranged the implement dealership's equipment and twisted up a few miles worth of crops. It also took down the two turkey barns in Priam. More info and news in the local paper: Willmar West Central Tribune.

The good news is that no one was hurt.
