Congrats to our coonass!!
I knew that was bbirder as soon as I saw Abbeville. Who else could claim they live in the town known as home of The Blob?

You got it GB, and also some of the best food in Cajun country including the Boudin!
I was around when the Blob was filmed, altho I was not in the cast.

I miss being able to buy fresh boudin at almost every gas station convenience store..

What I want to know is how that trailer got on its side. If it was not due to wind, then there has to be a good story behind it.

Damn... I missed the vote. There would have been a tie.

That was from the 2nd time we took a direct hit from a tornado. Took out a power pole that jetted into the side of the workshop and eventually landed on the other side but with the nose of the trailer in the creek .25 mile away.


That would be the power line under the trailer.





The first one that hit took out 3 outbuildings, a livestock shelter, power pole and blew out the back of the barn, all built in the 1930's.

I thought it was damage from a falling balloon.

Well Travlr you got to be the tie breaker by not voting.

Well done Bbirder, TC looks like you dodged the bullet not having to choose the next subject, you had some good pictures up your sleeve.

@TCRanch I'm not used to winds like that. I have never been in a tornado, and I hope I never am.

First pic was mine, this was the same day and was a little mini-tornado that took that half culvert, picked it up and threw it.. and the wind came out of nowhere, 1 minute it was windstill but you could hear it in the mountain, and suddenly it was 100mph.. Happened twice the same day.
Steer is confused as why his feed bunk isn't in its spot
