Might have been a twister

[Full Otto]

Albeit a small one, I did sleep through it with the front door open, but I think I had a close encounter last night
Noticed a small opening in the cornfield this morning about 50 yards from the front door



Taking a closer look I find a small circle about 20 ft dia just inside



I'm guessing it touched down there and skipped back up if it was one



Judging from the debris it looked to have traveled from SE to NW








Glad to still be here it's pretty hot today for the clean up so I'm taking my time between AC breaks

Yup. Looks like one did pass through. Had one go through my housing development about 30 years ago. It came just a little lower than the tops of trees. I heard it as it went through the back yard. It was like a real high pitched whistle as it moved past (I was expecting a roar like a train going past, but I guess that only happens when it touches the ground.).

When it was over, you could see its path from the top of the hill. In a perfectly straight line, it took out about a 50 foot wide path through the tree tops. It passed over a house and took its TV antenna off, before going back up into the clouds. It traveled about 200 yards through the trees.

You were lucky....

Coulda been children in the corn making arrangements, If you see that branch being fashioned into a cross where the flattened out corn is, you better get the hell outta there.

My wife talked to her sister in Bay City, MI (about 100 mi. north of detroit) and she said they had tornado warnings for her area, and winds 50+mph, must have been part of the same storm system

musta been where a UFO passed through.

are there any cattle mutilated in the area?

I hear UFOs have been hiding out in tornado's for years to hide their subversive actions

You know, I never thought of that
Great now I'll be looking over my shoulder while I'm out there
I still have the one large limb to clean up
