Back in about 1975 we had some nasty storms in N Central Ohio. About the middle of the west edge of our oats field was a big Pin Oak which didn't get blown down but the limbs on the south side of it were all twisted & tangled up. The Oats were heavily lodged until about 1/4th the way across the field. There in the still lodged oats appeared as suddenly as a brick falling from the sky, a round patch not more than 8" across in which the oats were chewed & ground to a pulp about like the grass that sticks to the underside of a rotary mower. That initaial 8" circular pattern was the west point of a long skinny diamond shaped path of pulp! It grew in width until it was about 4' across then began to taper back down to a point at the east end where it disappeared before it got clear across the field. It was sort of a long narrow diamond shaped thing in the field that was headed for a bunch of White Ash trees at the east fence. The tops were ripped from those Ash trees at about 25' and we never did find the tree tops! We figure they landed someplace in the neighbors woods of about 80 acres.
National Weather Service called it a down burst of straight line wind. Tornadies do some strange things!
