All i can say right now is WOW!!!!!!!!!!............Last time i seen winds like i just had earlier was in Hurricane Gloria back in 85!!!!!!!!! Damage is everywhere especially on the westside of my town where there is countless Trees, Power Lines and Stop Lights down everywhere......................My side had winds so strong evidently that gravel went flying about and through some peoples windows!!!!! The reports are still comming in btw................The trees in my back yard were like bent half over during the peak winds and they are kinda old and tall trees and Thankfully for me they are very strong!!!!!!!!!!!.......The rains were no joke either they gave new meaning to the term Blinding Rains!!!!!!!!! Of course lot and lots of lightning and even some small hail but the big news as already said was the winds..................Wouldnt suprise me if there was a tornado touchdown but wont know that untill the nws investigates of course......................My father inlaw was caught out in this and he said trees were down everywhere comming back home from where he was which is to the east of here...............One guy was evidently lucky because a tree fell out in front of him while he was driving going through his windshield but thankfully he wasnt hurt......................Either way like i said this was one of the most intense T-Storms i have ever seen with the exception of a Tornado.............................I will add to this as new info comes in.....................Adding to this.....LOL...........It seems the town is needing help and getting it from as far away as Columbus, OH which is about 48 miles from here!!!!!!!!!!!!
