For those of you that may not have heard, a massive storm supercell decended on southern WI Thursday, creating between 15 and 19 tornados in atleast 11 different counties. Several of these were HUGE twisters that left 15 mile long paths of distruction. Dozens and dozens of homes destroyed, hundreds (likely 1000+) damaged, dibris dropping from the sky 60 miles from where it was picked up.<br />In one town, every building was damaged or destroyed.<br />There were many injured.<br /><br />Amazingly, only one fatality. A man that was in his basement with his wife when the twister took his house, and part of the chimney collapsed on him. The house is gone, GONE, not in the area, GONE .<br /><br />Here is a picture of somebody worried about his boat as the funnelcloud approaches.<br /> http://www.jsonline.com/multimedia/...om/graphics/news/img/aug05/storms/twister.jpg <br /><br />We have more than a dozen iboats members in the area that was severely effected. A prayer for their safety would be nice.<br /><br />And if you happen to be in the area, report in and let us know you are ok.
