Summary
Six houses from Dana Nicholson's home, Menasha residences were completely leveled after a tornado tore through her neighborhood, while her own house remained standing with broken windows.
Monday's warnings initially did not alarm Nicholson, but a coworker's text saying a tornado was near her house sent her rushing home to reach her 21-year-old son.
Downed power lines, a fire, flipped cars and fallen trees blocked roads, forcing Nicholson to leave her car, cross railroad tracks and climb over debris to reach the area on foot.
By Tuesday and Wednesday, neighbors were hauling out suitcases and belongings by hand, though Nicholson said everyone in the neighborhood had been accounted for.
