This is horrible! It all just got rebuilt and now it's damaged again!
Hate to see this because I know folks have been working hard to fix up this facility in the wake of the tornado. Rick Nichols.
You have to remember that for all those that rebuild there are those that will tear down. Only hope they get caught and are punished appropriately. Like make them rebuild something.
