tornado on the farm

late last night, a tornado hit the farm. from what dh's dad has said, the house and bigger barns are fine. it touched down about 2 miles north of them, they heard it on the fire radio and had enough time to grab the dog and get out into the tornado shelter. it lifted and touched down about 1000-1500 feet or so behind the house, near the corral. a few smaller barns and buildings are gone, one has one wall standing, and more trees than they could count are uprooted, some over 7 foot in diameter. from what i'm hearing, it ran a pretty decent path between the two pastures - about a quarter mile or maybe a bit less. i think all of the cows are okay, not sure yet. they were checking fences and barn damage this morning.

thankfully the house and the in-laws are okay.
