Spoke with Dick this morning who spoke with Kent. He said starting early this morning it was blowing pretty good.

We have family in Capron who witnessed a Tornado rip through. I'll be out tomorrow, looking at N Hydro, perhaps N Mono

My rigger is setup a little wet for the wind. We'll see how it lays down after this front.

They issued a tornado warning for Franklin and when I saw the flag next door to the hotel go from be being stretched out full to dropping to nothing in about 2 seconds I knew things were serious. Steve Sutton and I went out onto the balcony to listen for that "freight train" sound and watched the tornado cell pass directly over the hotel, the circular rotation was something I'll not forget. Got a call from Kentley a little while later to find that it did in fact touch down just up the road in Carrsville where he lives. All I can say is wow.......

[Doug Smock]

Wow, glad you guys are ok.
Good luck tomorrow.
