Date Line: 5-21-2006
We received some strong winds, rain and lightning this afternoon and 7 - 10's of an inch of rain. Lee Van Wormer said his wind gauge dropped out at 57 mph. Jim Causey weather station reported 47 knots. One home had shingles pulled up, and another had some siding pulled loose.
Bill Como's Pear tree in front of his house has a nice list to port. A pine tree next to my house is snapped in two. Several tall trees on Windy road were also toppled. A lot of trash was removed from the end of runway 27. Good thing this storm didn't arrive earlier in the day. Hate to think what could have happened.
