WE ARE EN ROUTE TO HARRISBURG, STRUCK BY A TORNADO 3 HOURS AGO
We had half a day off, with interviews scheduled only for this evening, so we slept in. The one damn day we chose to do it.
Harrisburg was struck by a tornado this morning in the pre-dawn hours; we’re hearing it was at about 5:30 a.m. Our sources are telling us that the collection of homes on the backside or in the vicinity of Walmart was demolished. The city has called for mutual aid from surrounding communities and they are responding. Without naming names, but this will give you a good idea of how solid our sources are, we have no photos because most of our sources are the ones out doing to first responder work. We are on the way to Harrisburg right now to get the photos ourselves. When we get them, we’ll post them. If you have any and want to share, please feel free to email them (if you have a signal; we’re hearing it’s nonexistent to spotty at best) to disclosurenewsonline@yahoo.com and we’ll post em.
In the meantime here’s a shot of the strip mall area devastation as posted by Gibson County Communique’s Facebook, reposted from WSIL’s Facebook:

I was going to take a lot of pics for you all but my Mom and sister were in the path of this storm ias it hit Ridgway.I took off and headed that way.Like to have never found a way around to get to them.Ridgway got hit hard,Very hard.
We are going to visit Ridgway tomorrow in the afternoon IF they’ll let us in…we were going to go today but learned that the roadblocks were all the way out to highway 1 and we were already taking chances being in the damage zone in Harrisburg. If it weren’t for some REALLY AWESOME mutual aid and Harrisburg cops and first responders who knew us and took the time to get us past the power-trip Williamson County moron cops, we’d have never gotten the amazing shots and vids we did.
As you go into Ridgway take the first Street to your right,Right before the old popcorn plant.Take the first street to your right { Sycamore} and you will start seeing the damage.That street will take you all the way uptown safely.Look at trailor one block up Sycamore{south st}were sister and mom lives.
Left on Sycamore not right
