Terrible devastation. The top half of the 225 foot headhouse is blown away with most of the debris landing at the base on top on a building that housed the employee locker room and FGIS grain inspection offices. More than the usual number of employees were in the building because Christmas turkeys were being given out and the night shift employees had returned. - Schoeff, Robert W. (Kansas State University.
