Spring is tornado time. They can hit in almost any state, but part's of the Midwest are known as tornado alley. I've been close to a few and have some stories, and I'd bet our Kansas and Oklahoma and Florida members have stories that would make mine pale in comparison.
I took this pic a few days ago a couple miles north of my house. A tornado late last spring drove a metal t fence post into the top of this telephone pole. The tornado hit the farm behind my truck first and tore a roof off a barn, tipped over a large stock trailer, and ripped up some trees. (and obviously a fence too!) Imagine how much wind it took to make a skinny steel fence post go airborne...and then stick it in the pole. Amazing.
