TORNADO - Nicollet

Tornado sirens sounded here in Courtland around 5:00...nothing came from it here. No rain, wind, or anything. A tornado was reported to have touched down in nearby Nicollet....6 miles down the road. We took a drive over to check out the damage. We didn't get to see much, they had all the roads into town blocked so we just drove on Hwy 14 & turned around.

If you are familiar with Nicollet at all, there is a pool on the left hand side (if heading towards Mankato) of the road. It has a red fence around it & that fence is now gone. I guess there were a couple of homes that were leveled as well.

Here's a picture of what remains of the pool.
