denjac Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Anybody here anything about a tornado last night in the North little Indian area? Sister in law called and said they had one at the castle and still no electric. She tends to bend the truth so was just wondering. Dennis Boothe Joplin Mo.

DD'sMC Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 This time she may not be bending the truth. We just now got power back on. It has been out here since about 3am this morning. I live just off DD highway on a penisula across from Cow Creek. Last night was unbelieveable! Trees down everywhere. Our friends at the Lakeside Resort on Coney Dr. sustained some damage from a large oak tree that became uprooted and smashed a guest's rental car. The winds were ferocious. Several docks were "rearranged" and tons of debris floating along the banks. Where were the warnings? The only warnings offered prior to the power going out was for flash flooding. Last night was the worst storm I've ever personally experienced and I've been through a couple tornadoes. I hope all is well with other folks down this way. We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. The two best times to go fishing? When it is raining and when it is not.

captmac Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Had no reall damage where I live,back end of big creek, was without power from about 1;30 am Sun till midnight last night,had Grand kids with us, think they learned a bit about the "old days" before video games,we played board games,put puzzles together and involved them in the preparations for being without the usual amenities. So all in all it turned out to be a positive experience To have a true friend is wonderful, to have a true friend who fishes with you....... priceless
denjac Posted September 15, 2008 Author Posted September 15, 2008 Thanks DD. Guess I better get down there and check my 5th wheel. I guess several RV's at the Castle had serious damage and trees knocked down. Dennis Boothe Joplin Mo.

denjac Posted September 15, 2008 Author Posted September 15, 2008 It must have been wind sheer since there was no warnings. Maybe. Dennis Boothe Joplin Mo.
