I wanted to send this last night, but we just got phone service back. A small tornado touched down in the little town 4 miles away - never happened before in recorded history. Wiped out the local SHeetz gas station, shattered 70 yr. old sycamore trees. no lights, heat or phone service there for a while. Also crushed a factory that employed about 70 people - no jobs for them for a long time - and right before Christmas.

We got the edges of it and I watched the 'stringers' clouds,come over the mountain that separates us. Just a lot of branches down and no phone service until this AM. I did catch a photo of the sky during a brief clearing period.

Cold and windy this AM, but a lot calmer than yesterday.
