Summer Storm

I have meant to post for a very long time. Just have other priorities now, I guess. Here in Illinois we had a crazy wind storm some weeks ago. The winds were supposedly at 80+ miles an hour. It just blew up during dinner and we all watched as our trampoline stood on end and rolled like a pizza across the road, jumped a barbed wire fence and went way out in the hayfield. Needless to say, it was damaged beyond repair. The other two photos are at our neighbors just down the road. They lost a barn, see it flattened?, and uncountable trees. Many of the trees were uprooted or torn off half-way up. The silver stocktrailer you see in the distance was parked near the fence in the foreground and literally flew into the trees. I do think there must have some type of a twister going on. Thousands were without power over several days to a week. We were fortunate not to have any damage but the trampoline.
