In response to message posted by jerrib:Closer? The first uprooted tree was about 20' from the house. The fortunate part was the direction the wind took - away from the house rather than toward it.

Hi Carol,It is amazing that the tornado could come so close to your house, and yet, not touch it. That must have been some "thunder and lightning" show you witnessed. I'm glad you weren't hurt, and that the tornado did some positive landscaping.

In response to message posted by Tina_Coruth:I was even more amazed at the other things that were untouched. I spent a frantic few moments tying up the climbing roses - just made it indoors before the storm began in earnest. So naturally the next day I went to check that first. Roses were fine - and there was a light plastic watering can on the table - just as I left it, apparently untroubled by the winds. It wasn't until I looked at the other side of the yard that I realized what had happened. Talk about being truly amazed!
