A big clean up is underway in Winfield after storms tore through town Tuesday night.

Grain storage tanks were toppled, causing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of damage.

The wind tore off nearly the entire front of one downtown building. A 40-foot elm was ripped from the ground and landed on a house.

Several trees didn't stand a chance. Limbs litter nearly every street, many of which have been shut down because of the debris.

Truck after truck could be seen passing by, hauling a seemingly endless supply of branches.

The city swimming pool was closed as lifeguards spend the day clearing away all the damage.

Luckily, no one was injured.
