    My son lives in New Trier and he had 2 trees on his house as well as 6 down in his yard. What a mess.

    I saw a lot of corn just flattened and a lot of trees and branches down between Coates and Vermillion.Do they know if it was a tornado or not?

    There was an area that was straightline winds that passed just south of Meisville but there was a F-0 Tornado just west of that (New Trier area and down around Welch.

    I live in Welch…albeit,7 miles out of town. My wife was home and said that the sky turned a yellowish/green,brown color and there was a peculiar smell in the air.Then it got black as night and the wind started to blow and her and the dogs hit the basement.No damage real nearby though.

    My wife and I are going to go for a little drive tonight to check out the damage and we’ll most likely be going by there.I’ll report back but,you’ll probably already know by then anyway.

    Clarence, it was right on the edge of the damage line. Some bent corn and some branches down, but you should be fine.

    I live two miles west of Meisville, which was ground zero for all the action yesterday afternoon. The little tornado clipped our woods about 150 feet from the house. My wife, kids, and the Minnegasco guy all had a front row seat. We are OK, but some of the neighboring farms were hit pretty hard. I drove north to Hastings last night and the damaged stopped about a mile or so north of my place. I would think that the Little Log House Bauer farm got some wind but missed the big action.

    I have a brother in the New Trier / Vermillion area that needs a new roof. I’m not talking roof in the aspect of shingles. I’m talking needs a new ROOF!

    Family/friends in Hampton area got messed up good with broken trees and messy yards but that was about it.

    Corn is gone.
    If it isn’t flat, the hail stripped off the leaves.

    I was getting a ton of pics early in the year of both bucks and does fighting for their turn at the mineral site. I decided after much tought that I would simply make another site with in camera range of the main site. That additional site was nothing more than a trphy rock laid on a log. Almost instantly I got the results I was after and a month later out of 1200 pics none were of deer squableing. Knowing that all deer are getting their fill of the mineral makes me feel less bad about aborting the plots for 2011 season. I have enclosed the pics of the proof, and a pic of the 2 reasons beside the weather I wasnt able to get my plots in, wedding and fishin!

    That’s great stuff Ben. I’m sure it’s been very hard on you not being able to spend your normal amount of time in the field this year.

    Great point Ben! Some hunters go by the rule – one mineral lick per 40-80 acres. I say it depends on how many deer are on your property.
