In this wide-open land, highways stretch to the horizon.
Residents drive for miles just to reach a grocery store.
Yet a tornado s winds can sweep this space in a matter of minutes and devastate residents lives. That's what happened on May 30 when a tornado flattened this town. Aulner has witnessed the twister's impact on all of Spencer's residents. They've come into the post office and told their tales. It was the first time some had seen each other when they met in the lobby, she says.
