If you do go, bring work gloves and safety glasses. Understand that some places may want outsiders to stay out. Not everyone goes out with good intentions.

Also, be prepared for more of the same tomorrow.

This is going by my memory from back in 2005 after Katrina.

Check with churches in the area. If you're going to donate a bunch of stuff, see if the EOC (emergency operation center) is set up to log the items, equipment or manpower. If the area is declared a Fed disaster area, they can use the in kind donations/labor/plate counts as a credit to offset any matching funds needed for grants.

Have relatives over near Creston. This is the second tornado in less than 7 days that passed in between the 2 of them. I got a photo looking south and one looking north at the same tornado.

We had one in Western Wa in 2018. Same deal, came out of nowhere. My wife was driving her school bus down the road saw debris swirling overhead and high tailed it. It came right behind her across the road. Thankfully there were no injuries but quite a few homes and businesses were damaged. Ended up rated an EF2. Whole thing was over in 5 minutes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_Port_Orchard_tornado

I lived in Indiana in 1974. Our roof was torn off. Neighbors place was badly damaged and horses were killed. We were all fortunate, we had a root cellar to take shelter in and nobody was hurt.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1974_Super_Outbreak

My daughter is at Fort Cavazos in TX with her husband and called me today with the base alert system sounding "shelter in place" in the background. I told her she better take those warnings seriously, be prepared and have a plan.
