Beautiful pond!
We had a tornado hit one of our farms and the main pond that I look after about 15-20 years ago. Several trees, buildings and barns were taken away in my 96 year old grandmother's back yard. She could barely hear it and knew nothing of the tornado that cleared her back yard. She was only missing a few shingles at the house.
We cut the dam and drained the pond to clean up the mess and most everything we got out of the pond, we could see before cutting the dam. Things flew for miles....some letters were found 40 miles away. The next door neighbor rode in her tub for about 500 yards in the air...she just had a few scratches.
I remember when I was in the 3rd grade, the teacher from Kansas said that her uncle was taken off his tractor and was in the tornado for a (few miles I think?) and it sat him down with cuts and scratches. Amazing how things like that happen.
I was near a couple tornadoes yesterday in Wilson, NC....lots of flooding and golf ball size hail. You don't appear to have come out too bad with that one.
