Tornado

by Gary on June 18, 2011

Another tornado came through today. This time we had at least 5 trees down. We are without electricity. I’m writing this on my iPhone. Seth got here just in time for the adventure. He and I went around clearing roads and then we took care of our yard.

Hope your electricity comes on soon. Do you know how Nathan did this time around?

We had at least 6 trees down on our property. Once was across the driveway. I haven’t checked the whole property yet. It sounded like a truck coming through the woods.

I got my power back sometime last night. Most of the damage this time seems to have been in West Brow and Chickamauga. I was out with the FD for about 4 hours clearing roads and logging locations of downed power lines.

There was no advance warning. The only thing in the forecast was thunderstorms–which we didn’t get much of. Phyllis and I were outside and thought we heard a truck coming along the highway. But soon it was clear that it was coming toward us through the woods, and we figured out it was not a truck.
