His barn and crops also sustained severe damage.“At my age I’ve seen tornadoes and we’ve had farms that got hit before, but never this devastating,” Greif said.“My barn that I’m really proud of, is toast,” he said.Rae Ann Holub said she was in her basement when a tree came down on her home.“We heard the trees falling and breaking,” Holub said. “It’s kinda scary, especially when we came out and saw how bad the damage was.”By morning, crews were cutting through debris and working to restore power. Holub said the response from the community provided some relief.“It’s comforting seeing all the neighbors come together,” she said.Greif said while the cleanup is far from over, he’s glad no one was hurt.“We just go one day at a time from this point on,” he said.</div></body>
