Griz Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Last night My wife woke at midnight. We had one heck of a storm hit here lastnight. When I got up there was golfball size hail already hammering the place circling. I thought it was going to bust all the windows out of the house. About that time it sounded like a train coming at us and then quit. Well this morning when I left the house to start my rounds I came across some big cottonwood trees that were twisted and blown apart. It's just unreal what these things can do. All the damage that I saw wasn't far from my house. Really to close in my book. It kinda gave me the chills... It was mostly tree damage but Wow. It's amazing how it just took a big tree like that and turned into toothpicks. Needless to say every thing seemed to survive the storm A-Ok. I got pretty spooky to say the lease... When I get a chance I'll post some pics of the damage... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeygirl Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Re: Twisters Came Threw The Ranch Lastnight... Wow, glad you are ok! I bet it was scary! We don't get them really in NY but I've been in some really high wind storms and thunderstorms that are scary enough for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kat Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Re: Twisters Came Threw The Ranch Lastnight... Ya, I saw where stonewall had wind shear near it last night. I don't think your a victim of a twister, but instead ya had 75+ mph straight line winds which can be more dangerous than a tornado itself.

Rhino Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Re: Twisters Came Threw The Ranch Lastnight... WOW griz that is a little too close for comfort. Glad it didn't do anymore than tree damage. Sounds like you have some chainsaw work to do now. It sure is amazing what a twister will do to some big trees. I went through the same feelings looking at what some of the twisters did to some huge oak trees on our hunting club that were spun off from Katrina. Our place was on the west edge of the storm and other than the twisters that passed through we didn't have sustained winds from the storm in excess of 60 mph. There was no mistaking where the twisters passed through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Re: Twisters Came Threw The Ranch Lastnight... Glad no one was hurt. Got pretty rough here last night for about 20 minutes or so we had hail ranging from pea to a few golf ball sized. Problem was it was coming straight out of the north. Was afraid it was going to bust our windows on the front of our house. Heard reports that we had 60 mph straight line winds. Got tons of limbs down on our place and on our driveway, did see most of the cows and horse this morning, hopefully all my fence is ok. Saw several good sized trees down on the way to town here this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
