Tornado

Last Friday, a nasty tornado hit Aumsville and made its way out to Turner.  High winds and heavy hail hit all the way to Silverton.  It did a number on our fields too.  But it really hadn't hit me that we had a TORNADO in Oregon!  Until last night that is.  I was driving out to the Sherman Road Ranch for a lesson.  It was dark and raining a little, and as I came over the hill on Hwy 214 I had to slow way down because there was a twisted up torn up building looming on either side of the highway.  The beautiful brand new Machine Shop/ Barn that had once stood at least 30 feet off the road was destroyed, leaving chunks of metal and wood, mixed with tree roots strewn over the fields and the road.  It was a real eye opener.  Only blocks away from the barn, and a few miles away from my on horse.  Thank GOD no one was hurt!
