Fallen powerlines, broken branches, destroyed trees and devastating destruction.  That is what the people of Lennox woke up to Sunday morning after a tornado ripped through the town.   

Darrel Buller helped his brother-in-law clean up his yard early Sunday morning.   

“What we mostly experienced here is tree damage and power lines down.  There’s no structural damage to anything that people have in town here but around town, there is some structural damage.” 

So far there have been no reported injuries from the storm. 

“Can always be worse.  No one lost their life or nothing like that so it’s just some time as in work to get things back to normal.” 

Along with houses and trees, cornfields were also damaged.  After a difficult year with drought, this year’s crops were already suffering.  In Gene Cooper's opinion, the corn might be ruined.   

“The corn took a really bad hit, like it got chopped off a knee level with a corn knife.  It just flattened fields, acres and acres around here, so the corn was heavily damaged.  The beans are windblown but they will be more salvageable for harvest but I don’t know about this corn.” 

Cooper lives in Texas but owns a barn with his brother and sister.  The barn took heavy damage from the storm, losing most of the siding.   

 “I didn’t know what to expect when I first came out here.  From what I heard, I was expecting a little more damage than I saw.  There is still a little bit standing up here so I was expecting damage and I thought it would be a little more.” 

The National Weather Service says the tornado traveled two miles with winds up to 95 miles per hour.
