I received a message friday night, after work, while at an extended family get together, 45 minutes from the house, that our place 30 miles north received significant damage.
I went up their yesterday, big trees snapped off, at least a dozen, old roofing panels on the oldest barn, one side, at least a 1/3 gone off a 80 x 125 barn. It sheared posts off the training pen which was just posts and stockade fence panels. Front door of barn was sucked in, back wall off barn was sucked in, all out of plumb now. A small sign that was on a small shed like barn attached to the larger one was sucked off the exterior wall and was found inside the barn. A limb was stuck in the phone wires 25' feet up. The area of destruction all has a signature of rotation, trees down in varying direction. The old aluminum roof panels on that end of the barn is mangled and in some trees, strewn all over the nearby paddock opposite the direction of the storm that came through, aluminum nails scattered. Insurance company due in today to inspect for the claim. 500 bales of hay destroyed too.
What are the odds in this area, north of Albany NY 20 miles, that a tornado touched down briefly in just our location ? Isolated for sure, as nothing else in the area was touched. Have not seen anything like this since the one in '98. No injury to anyone or any of the horses. My father described feeling a vacuum at the back door when it was happening as he was trying to get the dog back inside as this rolled in swiftly.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
