Video embedded and linked. My high school biology teacher, Lee Wiges, managed to get interviewed by both Channel 7 and Channel 9.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The damage to the south end of Traer Manufacturing, the large building with the red girders at the south of town in the aerial view, is mostly from the 2011 derecho. Additional siding was removed later. That particular building received a little more damage on the north side this time, but it’s only visible from the road. The buildings to the south, the Clearline buildings, were damaged Monday.
(A return to highway and school coverage will come eventually, but obviously I have shifted priorities at the moment.)
