Title: Tornadoes in Flagstaff, Arizona
Post by: JeffColburn on October 29, 2010, 12:33:46 am
Earlier this month a series of tornadoes hit Flagstaff, Arizona, and the surrounding area. You probably saw the damaged homes on the news. The eight tornadoes rated between EF1 and EF3, and created a lot of damage. One of these tornadoes was on the ground for 30 miles. Some of the damage included:

    * Dozens of homes destroyed or damaged.
    * 28 train cars were derailed near Bellemont.
    * Highway 17 was closed due to debris from an RV sales lot. 35 RVs and trailers were destroyed; a $600,000 loss.

Here's a picture of trees north of Flagstaff, damaged by one of the tornadoes.

Can't remember the author, but the saying goes, "The wind is the most powerful force on earth, and nobody's ever seen it."
