Re: Union University Destruction

What really shows the magnitude of the storms is seeing cars & trucks weighing a couple thousand pounds being tossed around like Toys!

I wish I could copy one picture I got,but it's in a slide show and I can't.

It's a round metal base that a sign would stand in 20 inch diameter lodged into a tree trunk like the tree was made of butter. Unbelievable.

I have heard that a twister can take a two by four and send it right through a tree!!!

Imagine the force it took to ram that piece of metal into a tree!

Just amazing!

I just noticed that myself!

A friend of mine had his boat blown two blocks away when a tornado came through his neighborhood years ago, but the empty Pepsi can he'd left on his picnic table in the same backyard the boat was in was still in the upright position where he'd put it before heading for shelter!
