Tornado in Scotland

[TPD]

I don't need the official weather service people to come down and confirm it because I already did. Best I can tell the tornado touched down about 7:15 this morning and was on the ground for about a mile. Started down near Trossbach's Produce, crossed over Longneck Road, stayed on the east side of Rt 5 before crossing onto Harry James Rd and then petered out on Curley Road. A lot of twisted tree tops. Very little structural damage from what I can see. One guy I talked to lost the ridge vent on his roof so got some water in the attic. He lost a lot of trees in his backyard but otherwise ok. That's my official assessment and I'm sticking to it!

These pictures don't show much, but I should have a video on my YouTube channel later this evening.

Yup I'm good - thx for asking. No damage at the farm other than a few empty 2000gal water tanks moved about 100' and 2 pieces of siding off the shop.

 

[TPD]

Yikes. Are the roads clear? I wonder how BD made out.

Roads are fine - dump is closed tho so don't even try...well it was closed when I went by earlier.

Meh - its a good day for staying in my jammies anyway. What's your you tube channel - you sent me a link once and I don't know where it is or what it's called anymore.

Farmer MD is the channel name.
Here is the link to yesterday's video in preparation for the hurricane.

Graphic from JB Weather. I think they need to add at least one more, @TPD. Glad it wasn't worse!

Waiting with baited breath, Cheetos, and Coronas.

So you got yourself some dinner, good on ya ! Have you tried the jalapeno cheddar cheetos......

 

[TPD]

Pretty cool - I knew where you were most of the time - odd looking at it from that angle. If that in fact was a tornado, and I believe you know what you're talking about, it was really fortunate that it didn't hit the homes. They weren't that far removed from the tree line.

Thx for watching!

The other from Scotland to Ridge.

Just came back from a ride thru there. Lots of tree damage obvious from the road, just south of the Hardware Store. Structures seemed to have faired pretty well.
