Well, This summer season has started out pretty crazy weather wise. It actually isn’t summer yet, and some locations in the Northeast US have reported 100+ degree temperatures. This crazy weather is responsible for spawning a very violent and deadly tornado in Manhattan. Not Manhattan New York, but a Town called Manhattan Kansas.
Two people were confirmed dead in this tragic storm. Buildings at Kansas State University were also damaged, some quite badly. They have canceled classes for the day at least while they evaluate how severe the damage really is. We do know that a fraternity house on the campus had it’s roof torn off by the storm. Reports say that they had to bring at least 12 ambulances into this Kansas town just to take care of those injured by the tornado. In the city of Chapman, which is located Southwest of Manhattan, there are reports that over 60 homes have been completely demolished by the tornado.
