HARTINGTON — A person didn’t have to look far Wednesday morning to see the effects of the Tuesday night tornado that ripped through central and southern Cedar County.
As you came over the hill and took your first glimpse at the Joe and Kathy Lammers farm following Tuesday’s tornado, the sight was almost like stepping into another world.
Tree branches, large and small were scattered everywhere. The garage next to the house was completely gone, and pieces of roofs from various buildings were torn off, providing a stunning visual representation of the power and the destructiveness of Mother Nature.
After the weather calmed down, something even more impressive occurred — family, friends, and neighbors converged on the Lammers farm to begin the clean up process.
Of course, it was far from the only place this could be seen.
Swarms of people could be found in other places around the area, too, like Coleridge, Laurel and Dixon, coming out to do what they could to help.
The tornado damage was everywhere as you strolled down East Broadway in Coleridge the day after the tornado churned through the area.
