My wife and I were at the gun show when the storm hit. We heard that there was a tornado warning from one of the vendors. WE waited for the rain to stop. When we got into the Pilot we turned on the radio. The newscaster said there was a tornado warning for the western part of the valley and that the storm was moving north, northeast. Towards our home.

The traffic was moving at a crawl and our Pilot was doing fine. The roads were badly flooded on the way home, unfortunately we did not have the camera then.

When we got home, (which was fine) we noticed the trees looked strange. They were missing most of their leaves. Then we noticed pinecones, branches, and leaves everywhere. We grabbed our camera.


Here's a couple of stripped trees. My work van on the left.
