Two Year Anniversary of Prairie Lake Tornado
It was two years ago
this week that a devastating tornado struck the Prairie Lake Estate Mobile Home
Park located between Cameron and Chetek. The tornado killed one man and injured
over 20 others. The tornado was on the
ground for over 80 miles and left a path of destruction causing over
$10-million in damage in Barron county, and millions more in Polk, Rusk and
Price Counties. While the mobile home park has rebuilt and made
improvements, the twisted trees along the tornado path still remind those in
the area of that devastating night two years ago.
