Chapman, KS Tornado Damage - Part 1

[TheBeginningChronicl]

i remember the week after the tornado and the eerie feeling of the whole town

[greencatcher98]

my house got hit and it was scary and who r u

[motonegros]

Were you guys in the house?

What was it like?

[andyjalc]

OMG, I remember that about Greensburg. Almost a year to the day in fact, I was watching the Weather Channel and I heard there was a possible EF5 tornado on the ground near by. Luckily it went up before slamming into Greensburg. I was stunned when I heard that and I just started watching and waiting until it passed by the town I guess. We don't get thay type of weather in the Berkshires, at least not to often.

[andyjalc]

How devastating. I just watched Extreme Makeover Home Edition on ABC and a family got a house here. I hope everyone pulls together like their neighbors in Greensburg.

[MTStingray]

I'm with you on that! Chapman's a good community, they'll definitely get through this. Did you hear how Greensburg almost got hit by another EF5 last year around the time Chapman got hit? Just imagine, two EF5's in two years. That would've been horrible!

[damian02h]

I just moved to NY when that happened. My family lives in Enterprise, i had alot of friends that lost their homes to that. I hope that everything is getting better guys!

What Street was this ?

[coolguy982]

6th Street- right across from the basketball courts (baseball field)

[videogamerlover1]

At the Basketball Courts there were like 1 or 2 basketball hoops that were broke at the bottom of the pole

f4 they said i was on i70 when it happend it moved through i70 thnks god i didnt get hit

[MTStingray]

It was an EF3 when it hit Chapman, and it never touched I70, unless you refer to the debris scattered around it? This tornado picked up before it crossed I70, went over my city (Junction City, KS), then landed back down in Manhattan, KS as an EF4. It later dissipated near Kansas State University.

[dudelucha23]

[nikki0lyssa]

omg! im so sry! what was it like an F5?

[DKester777]

Ya dude i live in topeka and we are going to go help clean up.

[sxhxixtx]

Very interesting footage. It shows a close up view of the true effects of the storms. News chopper views of wide spread areas do not compare to the actual victims view of their losses

[pasapprivoisee]

Wow that's heartbreaking.

[blueeyes49781]

I use to live in Abilene and now live in Michigan soon as I heard what had happen I was on the phone to back home to make sure friends in Chapman were ok..I am sorry that u seem to have lost everything..I am still in shock to see Chapman that. Sorry for what you had to endure

[BreNanaBear17]

I'm so sorry about the tornado, we live right around Manhattan, but we weren't hit. What's really sad is right after the tornado blew by, people were stealing from those who had already lost everything. God bless you. I hope no one was hurt.

[1sportelephant]

Omg I am praying for you guys. I was at Camp Webster for church camp and we took shelter because of it. It missed us but sadly it didn't miss you. I'm praying for you once again.
