how about a Oklahoma,AR,MO,KS,TX,+IA GTG thread?

That area ( Williamson ) gets whacked by a twister every other year if not every year.

My brother rents a farm right in that area.

I don't think I'd like to live in a place with that kind of reputation.

I saw one source that said 5 turbines down.

Adair county has the highest number of turdbines of all 99 Iowa counties, northern Adams where that twisted started has pile of them also.

Williamson has a dance hall & about 3 houses/farm stead’s.

The place on the left of the 4way has gotten whacked 2-3 times, bad ju-ju on that place.

Oh yeah, got some out of these systems the last 2 days. Approx 5 inches thus far, of course it didnt need to come all at once.

Is that the missing from this forum Mark @hoskvarna that you speak of? If so, has he had any better news or results since he last dropped by?

Yes sir, same fella. Last I knew insurance was being a PIA for him.

@Ronaldo could probably give a better update.

I thought it was kind of a stretch also, but he paid me so I didn't ask questions.

He refurbishes old dead trailers for a living, (or at least part of a living).

Well that makes more sense then..

He done cleaned his county out of old trailers already.. has to cast a wider net.

@Jihave you heard how many wind turbines got folded up?

Not much on that yet. Most of the news coverage is centered around Greenfield, as that community suffered extensive damage & multiple fatalities.

This is the only bit I have found :

The storm also damaged several wind turbines in southwest Iowa. In Adams County, at least three 250-foot wind turbines were nearly snapped in half, with at least one catching fire.

A spokesman for MidAmerican Energy Company, which owns and operates several wind farms across the state, confirmed that the Adams County turbines are not owned or operated by MidAmerican. The company does, however, own several turbines that were severely damaged in Adair County.

Wind farms are built to withstand tornadoes, hurricanes and other powerful winds. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, turbines are designed shut off when winds exceed certain thresholds, typically around 55 mph. They also lock and feather their blades, and turn into the wind, to minimize the strain.

Good morning folks.

I hope all here are safe from the recent weather happenings.

I saw some video footage this morning from the Greenfield area and the damage is extensive. Just WOW.

Morning everybody.

Just wanted to take a minute this morning to say a BIG THANK YOU for all the caring replies to my post a few days back on the loss of my long time partner in crime. I will likely never meet many of you in person, but I do consider you all friends.

The video I saw didn't look like they held up well
