Tornados in Cairo

At least one tornado (and probably several) touched down in Cairo last night just south of where the LDS church meeting house is located on SR 93. I received an e-mail around 3:00 a.m. from our Stake President asking me whether anyone was hurt. Fortunately, there were no injuries; only property damage.

I found out where the tornado hit and drove down to the area this morning. Dozens of huge trees were uprooted and slammed down on houses and buildings. A trucker had apparently parked on the side of the road waiting for the storm to pass when a huge oak tree came crashing through the middle of the refrigerated unit he was towing. Thank goodness it didn’t hit the cab. The unit was completely destroyed. It looked brand new too.
