(2,164 posts)At the you tube site I was reading the comments, and it's interesting how many people remarked about the breaking of the little Blue Spruce. Most sad, some startled, etc. All of the surrounding devastation and we're hoping that tree makes it.

(10,481 posts)See I thought it was just a little mini hurricane when it came through here but now I have a name to put to these kind of storms. I never knew this and I'm someone that has a goddamn storm spotter license!
But yeah back in 2012 we had a one come through here in the lasted about 10 minutes. Ended up snapping a branch and taking out our power. Ripped the whole electric box off the house.
