Well, all you have left is now memories," said Meyer. I was shocked at the storm, because we didnt see the warnings on TV or anything that there was a storm."Tim Edeler, a nearby resident, woke up around 12:35 a.m. Wednesday because of the sound of heavy rainfall and wind hitting his house."I ran down to the basement. Didnt grab my phone. Didnt grab my glasses. Nothing," said Edeler.After the storm moved out of his area, Edeler and his wife checked their doorbell security cameras."It lasted about, what, 4 minutes, maybe 5 minutes? And all you see is just rain going sideways. Had the long raindrops," said Edeler.After the sun rose, Edeler realized a barn owned by Meyer, one of his closest neighbors, was almost destroyed. He reached out to Meyer, who was not at her home last night."The worst is our neighbor here, losing her barn," Edeler said. "She lost her 50-foot silo. I've never seen a silo come down before. Never. Still unsafe to see downed silo. Just the power that came through here was amazing. Absolutely amazing."Edeler added that it was the worst storm damage he had ever seen in his life.Throughout the area, a lot of trees were found uprooted or snapped in half, and dozens of silos and barns had major to minor structural damage.This story was reported on-air by a journalist and has been converted to this platform with the assistance of AI.
