This is what greeted me when I got home. Saw horizontally rotating clouds and have seen enough tornado documentaries and chased enough to know it was only a Matter of time before it went vertical. I was 5 miles from my parents house and I told them to be ready to go down stairs. With in 7-14 mins the tornado sirens went off.
Our crops got decimated. 29451 for those of you city folks they r not supposed to look like this. 29452 this is today afternoon when the bulk of the mess was cleared. Numerous pivots were toppled and trees up to 3 ft wide also. Cows were found dead on the interstate but not from tipped cattle haulers but rather they suspect at least a ef2 that never fully got its act together. News claimed 85+ straight line winds too. My buddy got pelted with golf ball sized hail too. The crops were taken out by quarter size hail.
My dad lost 600 acres to total loss. Thank God for insurance. If I could attach a vid via tapatalk I would show a video of the damage as I drove by. Feel free to post weather pics and stories here.
