Been a bit busy lately, was catching up on some weather stuff and found this:
12/15/2006 0340 PM
8 miles NE of Salem, Marion County.
Tornado, reported by public.
Immediately after a thunderstorm with frequent lightning
and small hail a small tornado touched down and crossed
an acre and a half of floodwater up to 3 feet deep and
sucked all of the water into The Funnel in around 3
seconds, accompanied by a loud roaring sound. The tornado
continued and twisted a 12 inch diamter Cedar off and
tossed it into a neighbors out barn. Then the tornado
changed direction and picked up an rv and threw it on its
side.
Now that must have been a site to behold! Glad I wasn't some duck sitting on that pond- instantly plucked in a rush of wind and water.
