 What happened in Northwood, anybody know the extent of the damage?

I'm curious to know what's going on.

I was there last night with my town's fire squad, lots of trees down.  Some people say school would not be functional for awhile.  The gym had a opening in the roof.  1 death about 20 injured, I am sure it is more than that.  Pretty bad.  They say no power til wed.  But I cant see that happening.  There was a used car dealership on the North side of town and the cars were a half of a mile back to the south in the middle of fields.  Agrivise, couple year old soil shop, looked like a bomb had exploded in it.

If you go to grandforksherald.com you'll find out lots of info, pics, etc. I was there also last night, WOW........ it's unbelievable what those tornados can do, level one place and not touch the next. It's amazing not more people were injured.

I heard school could be months away because of roof damage.  Hopefully that is not the case and they can start classes in parts of the school.  The cars from the Krabbenhoft (Chevy dealership) lot, which was next to the Agvise soil lab, were rolled up like snowballs, not even resembling cars.  Power will be out for several more days.  You can't get into town unless you are a rescue worker or have some other very good reason to be in town.

Any word on if the L-L-M vs. Hatton-Northwood football game is still on for Friday?

I heard on the radio that LaMoure is having a fundraiser for Northwood before the game tonight and they had one at the Milnor/LaMoure VB game last night. I think that's pretty cool of them. I hope other teams follow suit.
