Straight-line winds that hit the park a
week ago Sunday evening were recorded by the National Weather
Service at 70 mph. The F-0 tornado was 40 yards wide and on the
ground one-tenth of a mile. An F-0 classification is associated with
wind patterns of 40 to 72 mph.
Cleanup operations were provided to the
victims by Lincoln Streets and Alleys Department, Logan County
Highway Department, Mount Pulaski Public Works and Lincoln Rural
Fire Department Explorers. Hal Wolf from Lincoln Ag supplied a
front-end loader.
The city of
Atlanta, which has had some problems with one of its warning sirens,
reported that both sirens worked when they were activated during
that storm.
