No one was reported injured, but dramatic video shows high winds demolishing a Starbucks in Kokomo, Ind., Wednesday afternoon.
We want to express our heartfelt concern for all those affected by the tornado in Kokomo, IN. Very relieved to hear our partners are okay.

Two lessons learned today: people need to take tornado warnings very seriously, and tornadoes had better not mess with Starbucks.
