Decapitated windmill

Our local landmark the Twiskemolen (Twiske windmill) was devastated the other day when a small tornado (yes, really) whipped through the area and ripped off its blades. I took a walk yesterday to see it for myself.

People came from far and wide (ish) to take a look
I wasn’t the only one

For reference, here’s what it looked like on 10th May 2015, when kids from the local schools had painted special decorative sails for the windmill’s anniversary celebrations:

I hope it can be repaired.
