Tenants, friends, and family of Deane and Marion Gunderson came on Saturday
to help with the cleanup at their farm. The farm buildings were not damaged
by the tornado. |

A bit of siding on the house was blown away. Also, a tree fell against the
west side of the house breaking a couple of windows and causing mild
structural damage. |

The oldest shed on the farm was flattened in the storm. Deane had used it as
a shop in his early years of farming. In recent years, it had been as a
catch-all. |

Metal from grain bins at the Reigelsberger farm is strewn
across the Gunderson field. The Gunderson farmstead is in the distance. The
camera faces west, southwest. |
