We had a tornado hit us last night. Here are some of the pics I snapped.
In the first two pictures a pine tree was completely uprooted. The trunk of the tree is about 12 to 15 foot around at it's base. Obviously the root ball is much larger. It blew down at the local Methodist Church.
This guy got his car port smashed in. The funny thing is a tree smashed it but when he came out to inspect the tree that did the smashing was already gone.
This tree that was snapped in two was another big one. The stump is about six feet tall.
This sign was blown over sheerly by the wind. The rain and flood waters were rushing down hill, but this sign post got bent over up hill in the opposite direction of the water.
My back yard rifle range is pretty covered up with trees and debris. The tops of huge pine trees and oak trees that were blown over are all scattered along the way. This shot is taken about from my normal shooting position. I have a lane that goes out to 200 yards. Those tree tops in the background are at about the 50 yard mark. Right at the 100 yard mark there are some big fallen trees and broken off tree tops that were thrown around by the wind.
