How to pick up a cattle hauler

Destroyed rig

Now we can deal with next steps to replace it

It is really squished

Damage is worse than thought

May 26: 30 Gallons of Diesel Fuel Used To Ignite the Barn due to all the rain

One of many burn piles also ignited and another 20 gallons of fuel used to do it. Yet another hidden cost of tornado clean-up! Thanks for continuing to up those fuel prices!

The few trees we have left are too close to the burning for my comfort

Controlled burn so it goes well

Metal melts away

You can't imagine the heat ...

or the feeling of this necessary step of cleanup; this was a historic treasure of the family that ironically, I was always worried might burn down.

Hey - don't light my few trees on fire!

Too hot for marshmallows

Glad fire dept is available

This will burn a few days

Everyone really loved this barn; I had planned to hold dances here for the kids. The loft would have been perfect for this.

Second story was taken off by the tornado ...

Bottom half is left for us to clean

Something explodes inside

Thought it was all cleaned out before the loud bang - ha.

Kind of amazing to watch

And surreal. May 27, 2007.

Impressive clean up to make the rodeo happen

Temporary fixes, but it allows rodeo to happen
