Ted Allison, the President and CEO at the St Joseph Metro Chamber of Commerce, tells us his brother Andy Allison was at Grand Lake Sunday when a tornado touched down. Andy and his wife Mary Allison are building a house at the lake. They lost part of the house, two boats, and a new boat dock during the storm.
Allison tells us his brother and sister-in-law rode out the storm under the stairs in their walk-out basement, and were not hurt. The tornado touched down shortly after the twister that devastated Joplin.
Here’s some video of that twister, and another one that formed a short time later, that were posted on YouTube. The view is from the Shangri-La resort.
