Pictures of damage in Lawrence (microburst? tornado?) -lots of pictures [View All]

[Mabus]

Shortly after 8 a.m. this morning the wind started howling and then just grew. It sounded like a tornado to us. My husband ran out to roll up the car windows and says he saw the wind coming. It went as quickly as it came and the devastation around town is hit and miss. A couple of blocks over there was downed powerline, streets were closed off because of trees lying in the street and people were out walking around the neighborhood almost in shock at what it looked like around here. We've heard that there was a grass fire from a downed power line off of Clinton Parkway (west of Kasold).

Anyway, whatever it was, here are some pictures from around my neighborhood.
