During my dog walk this morning I saw even more damage. More trees snapped in half. The twister ran south to north in almost a straight line for about 3/4 mile. Only one person that I know of actually saw the thing. Others only saw debris slung around. But no "freight train" sound usually associated with the events. That must be with the larger ones.

One junior scientist observation is; tornado's must turn counterclockwise. It ran down the middle of the street behind us. When I was looking out the back, our globe willow tree was damn near horizontal (looked like a cartoon)the direction the twister traveled. The fence is also whipped in the same direction. I couldn't see the funnel beyond due to the rain. Our rain gage read 5.5" this morning. WOW!

Calling State Farm this morning. Do I hear new fencing???? At least thats better than new roof and structure as my neighbor will be calling for. He was running on generators this morning.
