Ignorance is bliss.....
Yesterday about 6:00 in the evening there was a thunderstorm ripped through suddenly. Itgot dark and there was a horrendous noise. The winds picked up fiercely and the rain blew sideways in all directions at once. One of my brothers-in law lives next door with my sister. He was in his garage and heard the horrible noise and looked up over our house. There was all kinds of debris swirling around in the air above the house. Hecalled to my sister and they flew down into the basement. It only lasted abouta minute badly. The rain continued for a while and about 2 minutes later the power cut out. The funnel had gone diagonally and ripped out a transformer and blew down many trees in all directions but in a narrow path. It tore down sheds and blew a boat 100 feet into a ditch. There is a field between our house and ther and there is a big piece of red barn roof in the middle of the field along with large chunks of trees dropped in a path. There are nor red barn roofs within 10 miles of the field. I guess what goes up, must come down.
I had to go to the engineer's office today and pick up plans and the girl there was telling me a funnel cloud went over their house, and blew more trees down and overturned boats and trailers. I asked where she lives, and it's in a direct line with our place and the spot where all the trees were ripped out of the ground. Apparently there was a small funnel cloud/tornado went through and we didn't even realize it.
Kind of scary, but things could have been much worse. The worst thing that happened besides apples on the ground was the phone got blown up again!
