Roughed up by a Tornado in Arkansas
Source: Davis Instruments - an AEM brand
This is not the kind of weather photo we like to see, but it is always good to be reminded of the fact that air, the gentle and invisible stuff we live in, is the same stuff that makes a tornado so vicious. This photo was taken by Bev Periman, of her neighbors' home after a tornado tore through their Arkansas neighborhood on the last day of December, 2010. Bev and her husband, Val, are farmers. Their Vantage Pro2, an essential part of their farming business, was about a half a mile from the center path.
Val wrote,'The tornado came through here at 6 a.m.. The news reported a max wind velocity of 140 mph. Our Davis Vantage Pro2 showed a temperature drop of 36º F. The wind pulverized our neighbor’s home just south of us and another neighbor’s home just east of us. We lost a thousand feet of fence and acquired a lot of trash from the town of Cincinnati, Arkansas, three and a half miles, as a tornado flies, southwest of us.'
