[QUOTE="GMN, post: 659850, member: 2382"] We had quite a little bit of damage in our area, no power for 5 hours, plus. The elememtary school where my son goes to school, right behind it, is the Lions club building the old one, that they still used was demolished, and also the covered picnic table area was gone too. Luckily the school suffered no damage. We had a few trees limbs blown down, and the neighbor had all the skirting ripped off of his trailer, plus tin ripped fron one of his calf barns. Alot of roofs were damaged. i found roofing paper up in the pasture where I put my cows.Plus whole trees just pulled out by the roots. It was a weird and dangerous storm. I thought after it poured and I mean poured, that it was over, I was walking around outside, viewing my baby calves, and talking on the phone to a relative, and it was so calm, eerie calm. The cows were all standing as close to the barn as they could, so I headed back to the barn, to bring a first calf heifer in, and then this wind came, and I do think it was very strong straight line winds, it seemed to go on for several minutes, and it was scary. Later someone told me that the storms that went thru, had a tail hook on the end, where after the rain, it got calm, and then wham. Like for a few minutes I was in the eye of the storm, like a hurricane acts. The person who died, lived in Charity which is about 15 miles from us. They got sucked out of their house, and blown against a building outside. The man died, they said of a heart attack. He had just retired a few months ago, and his wife is in serious condition in the hospital. They said it was a tornado in Charity, a EF2, with wind speed of 110mph. As fast as it all happened, it does knd of make you think about life in general, and how fast it can just be taken away. Glad to hear your damage was at a minimum. Gail [/QUOTE]
