a few days ago, could have been a tornado skipping over, but others just say strong winds, all i know is that it's not every day you look out and realize the neighbor's garage is gone. i've been through times where the house was shaking before from strong winds, but this time it was just wind and rain from all directions at once (and a calm eye for a moment), but no pressure change so we were either off to one side or it didn't form up until it was further north of us.
turns out it was two garages gone, other another neighbor lost a bit of their roof, one a few houses further down has a large tree on top of it (a two and a half story house with a large pine tree on top of it). more damage to trees, tree lots, house with a brick wall partially gone, another tree smashed someone's car, garage door blown outwards, hmm... the road to the north of us which runs EW looks like a few hundred trees down.
our place, no damage other than a few small things tipped over, but i'd just finished
24.5 pints of freezer jam that needed to go in the fridge/freezer and it couldn't because the power was out. so it's soupy freezer jam now known as tornado jam.the roof did not leak. i think.
