July 13 Storm

On July 13 we had one heck of a storm come through! Hail, over 3 inches of rain.. It was so bad at one point that we all went and hid in the basement!!
We started out with this enormous and scary rolling cloud..




When it was all over, we had 4 buildings destroyed (a Garage which fell down onto Terrys car, the tractor garage, and 2 sheds)
Of Course, we went for a drive to see what other damage we could see.. Crops destroyed, grain bins everywhere..
These are pumpjacks.. Used for oil, they have a large cement base and have pipes into the ground. The wind knocked two of them over (and even cracked the cement of the middle one!!)


This line of bins starts off with a little damage and then once it hits the end has completely blown over the bins!!
