Smith2260 Report post Posted September 9, 2016 If this is in 5a. The trees all go in different directions and track for a mile or two. Around 2011. Near happy jack. Dozens of healthy mature pondos snapped at about the 20' mark. Kinda crazy. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

biglakejake Report post Posted September 10, 2016 my favorite part was driving out toward the storm tracks one afternoon a couple of weeks after. first thing i saw were these 50ft long ponderosa pines that had been snapped off and were sticking out of the ground like arrows about a half mile before i got to the stormtracks. can we all spell 'incoming' ! lee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jim Report post Posted September 10, 2016 We cut a lot of oak off one in 5a back in the early 80's. It hit on one side of the highway and jumped the highway wide path a lot of oak on the ground. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CatfishKev Report post Posted September 11, 2016 sorry boys i think i gotcha' all. some action in 5a but this was just north of bellmont on oct 6 2010. this was a mornin' to remember. lee http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/fgz/News/Tornado%20Web%20Presentation.pdf All those pics and info are pretty interesting. I've always wanted to see a twister and experience an earthquake first hand but from a potentially "safe" place. I got my wish when I lived in Las Vegas, my roomie and woman rented a room at ceasars on the 18th floor for their anniversary and me and my ex were hanging out with them for a few. The bed started bouncing up and down and the curtains on the slider started swaying back and forth. All I could envision was images of the OK City bombing and I said we need to get in the hallway fast! It all subsided and we were pretty shook up. We walked down to the casino and everyone was gambling like nothing had ever even happened. I was dumbfounded! Cross earthquake off the list.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
