When Pastor Terry Makelin of St. John Lutheran Church in Pilger, Neb., returned home following Monday’s deadly twin tornadoes, he found “pretty much nothing.” “The church building is not there,” he told Issues, Etc. “It was built on a slab. It blew it completely out into the field next door. The only thing standing was the bell tower. The parsonage itself there were two closets that stood, otherwise all the walls came down." In addition to destroying Makelin’s church and home, the storm also damaged the homes of several St. John members.
