While I was out in Kansas, I also voulnteered to do the morning weather at a local radio station in Manhattan, Kan. Angel 95.3 FM. Jerry Hutchinson, the owner of the radio station sent me a message about this event. Him, his wife and one son were working in a movie, Can We Talk, in Chapman, Kan. He said about 70% of the town was wiped out, including the church that some of the scenes were shot in. (This is from the first tornado mentioned above.)
I have posted more photos of this event throughout the blog. They are photos posted by Jerry from Manhattan, Kan.
