Incredible footage 😎

The most astonishing storm I've ever seen anywhere on earth. Relentless. That said, this (1:28) looks like some very substandard concrete work. I don't think that should be a pile of gravel, no matter how strong the wind was. Notice that the other two stayed strong at their foundations in spite of the horrific winds.

It not gravel stupid its feed.

@@jedknutson8373 Not really a farmer, but remodeled a few houses with crummy foundations and seen it crumble like that. Plus the fact that it didn't blow away said it was concrete. Not the hill I really want to die on. I wish Iowa and the rest of the areas affected the best.
