I finally went up to the airport and spoke to Jim Latour, the manager. The tornado destroyed 15 airplanes, not including an almost completed and not-insured RV that just went into the new hangar...now totally destroyed. There had been a lot of cleanup in the week since the twister.
I live a couple miles from 3BO, and there was hardly a breath of wind. Hummingbirds were happy at the feeder.
Great sadness. The path of destruction was very narrow. A block away from the path was unaffected. In the path, oak trees two feet in diameter were broken like match-sticks....shredded by a billion HP weed-whacker.
See attached.
(do not archive) Oh, yes. My Glastar N5EJ is still being built....slowly.
