My wife and I filmed a bit of the aftermath from the tornado. Images and video won't really grasp how sad it is to see something like this. As far as we understand, Streator had it worse than Dwight. It was very uplifting to see the community come together like this to help each other out. What you see isn't even all of the worst that Dwight received, we didn't get video of some of the worst stuff (yes, that was my fault).
