What kind of force does it take?

There's a L-moral to this story, so....

Well, the gf and I visit the parent's in south-central OK. and have heard about the neighbor miles down the HW being hit by a tornado recently.

Well, we were headed back to Dallas and thought we would stop by to hear the story about the 2/6 board.

Well, here it is...

PS: I was talking to the unfortunate land-owner at the time the gf was taking the .jpgs. I was trying to get the gf to take the .jpgs w/the '02 L in the background for "photogenic" purposes, but to no avail.

Not sure of the force it would take to do that...just glad I'm never around when stuff like that happens. Guess he will probably be getting a new tractor, from the looks of that one it was at the end of its rope as it was...

Yep! hay-rakes, etc were thrown all over the place on the properties.

Funny thing is - there were stands of trees w/ all the leaves stripped off... and the next tree with all it's leaves. You all may scoff, but I've SEEN it!

He even said '93 tax returns, family pictures were being brought back to him from 5+ miles away.

Watch those tornados!

I was watching a TLC show on tornadoes. Apparently they have the force to drive a blade of grass into a 2x4 peice of wood
