Look what I found...

Went outside yesterday after a very WILD thunderstorm and look what I found.....



The Jeep is the neighbors, and if it was not for it, I would have one smashed up CTD…



What’s upsetting is the truck has less then 8000 mile on it. The only real damage is the bed of the truck that was pushed in and actually popped the tailgate out like a zit, and the C post has a softball size dent in it. The Jeep……. . well that’s another issue. I don’t know how the people living in the Midwest (tornado alley) deal with this…….

oooof, man you were a victim of that thing huh? My sis-in-law almost had a tree fall on her and there was that shot of the people in that newspaper that had a tree fall on there truck and killed the passenger. Talk about a storm, that one was definitely one of the stronger ones that we have had blow thru.

Here in tornado alley trees that big are hard to come by!!!

 

[heavydutyfd]

Just a few more since I have 40 some photos.....



This had to be one of the strongest storms to move through the area I can remember.



JDiehl -- Just curious, this coming from a person who has not been any farther west then Indiana, when you said "here in tornado alley trees that big are hard to come by" why is that?? The frequency of tornado’s???

In this part of Kansas water is pretty scarce on the surface ponds lakes and rivers. Most of the trees are in town or along the dried up Arkansas river. The ground is sandy and most land is wide open crop fields. Sorry about your luck!

Stay low.

Don't park near trees!

Stay low.

Nebraska too. Except for the northern and southwestern parts where its mostly grassland instead of cropland. Generally we have a shop or quansit to park them in as well.

yep another vote for the midwest, not very many big trees in the panhandle, but if I can find it there was a tornado in kearney nebraska that uprooted some big trees.

This is in eastern nebraska where they get ALOT more rain than us, so they have some huge trees.

Dang it..... 2 feet further back and that Jeep would be the perfect candidate for the AEV Brute kit:

You should chew your neighbor out for not having a full cage to stop the tree.
