The pic is of the first tornado... my neighbors on both sides had serious damage, I escaped with almost no damage, Now today an even worse storm in same area, Everyone lost trees, cars, tractors, roofs, shingles, etc. So Tomorrow We're again going north to the farm to check for damage. Picture is of my old farmhouse I sold on the property next to my farm, right after the last tornado a few weeks ago. It got hit hard. The wind blew many of the window out, this one the frame and all, notice the glass is not broken, thousands of trees down. Everyone had some damage (I only lost one large tree, pole barn and cabin ok). Another neighbor lost his beautiful 100 year old barn and other buildings, scattered over 1/4 mile.
Both times they mentioned on TV news the extensive damage in the city where my farm is. So Tomorrow I'll head up N with a chainsaw, then I'll know if my pole barn and cabin are still there ? ? Pics to follow.
A tornado in august? wow.

ReplyDeleteIt's hard to believe that the storms have taken that same path so often this summer. Ruth and I were out doing chores yesterday morning when I saw a bolt of lightning snake across the sky, I heard it sizzle and snap, and then the thunder shook everything. That was scary. Nothing compared to what you have been getting. I'm sorry you've had damage, and I hope that you don't find things in worse condition this morning.
ReplyDeleteSuch crazy weather. I'm so sorry Bert. Will be watching close for pictures and keeping fingers crossed that all is well at the cabin.
ReplyDeleteNot good! hope everything is ok up north. We have had some storms, but no tornadoes yet, tho summer isn't over, so I shold knock wood.
ReplyDeleteHope you stay lucky.
ReplyDeleteHope the storms have calmed & no more damage comes your way
ReplyDeleteNot fair! After coping with a never-ending winter the least you should get is a nice summer...
ReplyDeleteienvan - we were very lucky, no damage, but my neighbors got hit hard. Since then there has been nothing but good weather. I hope this means we don't need to worry until winter weather?
