Tornado 5/4/10

A surprise tornado came toward the farm behind me and then swerved to the east and south around the woods to my south..... too close for comfort for me. I was looking out my back yard and thought....wow.. it's really spooky out, some chairs were overturned and then the dogs kiddie pool went flipping across the yard... It took out a gazebo and barn, knocked power lines and trees down and really created a mess. NO warning... zero... I think it started with us... I am SOOOO lucky!! I was without power for several hours... that I can live with!

The photos start as I drove south on Sauby and then east on MM. I picked up Grandview Rd. and near Larsen there was more damage. When I got home the front driveway was a mess from shredded leaves from my trees in the back yard. The last pictures of clouds I pulled from a tv website and they are pretty amazing!!
