5-31-04 Storm Proves Destructive and Costly
Starting with this entry, from now on, all my pictures on here will be linked to the full-size versions in my greatestjournal gallery. Be careful you dial-up loasters! Each full-size photo runs about 0.85 megs a peice. Click with care.
These are not of the recent 7-13-04 night storm, These are from 5-31-04
I'm getting out old pictures again for an update. I remember this storm did almost nothing by me, but its amazing what it did everywhere else, as you'll see from these photos.
I'll apologize for the quality ahead of time, I shot all these from a moving vehicle, through a window. You'll see a little blurriness and some reflections, but just relax.
I'll also apologize because this entry is [scottish accent] FREAKIN' HUGE [/scottish accent]
on the right side you can see some twisted metal, that was a billboard
look at the size of that mother...fatter than my thighs!
these were a tree, but they've been processed -- I remember having to do that when our trees fell in a storm
the storm had no regard for local government property such as that reflective barrier
it also obviously had no regard for nature either
hey -- it even had no regard for Hardee's
again, lack or regard is being shown, in this case for powerlines
a whole tree
this tree is really big around...that takes really strong "straight-line" winds
As you can see it was a very destructive storm with strong "straight-line" winds that actually gusted at 90 mph. Some people said they saw a tornado but one was never officially recorded.
