That sucks....Looks like it was a microburst and not a tornado...If it was a tornado...there would have been cars strewn around, too.

Hope eveyone is okay!

-------Just saw what you posted, Charlie, and called my friend, Bob. He had just left the fairgrounds last night and was half way back to the Days Inn when the storm hit. It had a very narrow path and he said the trees were getting sucked upward which would seem to be tornado-like. He also said that although the damage on the fairground was severe the downtown area got more damage. Apparently, one person is in a local hospital in critical condition but the reported death has not been confirmed and hopefully is not true........Bill S

Holy Crap

I was supposed to be there Saturday afternoon thru today but something came up and we bailed on the trip.

Like a lot of people have said the cars can be fixed. Just hope everyone came out safe and sound.

I'll bet that was the weather vein that was touching from Springfield Il.,all the way to Detroit Friday.
Chicago was predicted to get it Friday,after the 80 mph monsoon that swept through here Thursday,but it disapaited by us and picked up steam to the southeast,all while making a beeline for the northeast.
Fingers crossed for the fantastic plastic contingent.

I was there all of yesterday afternoon and just came home. The temp in the Town of Carlisle hit 102 degrees, walking on that asphalt was like being in a frying pan. Storm hit after I got to the hotel. Some serious rain and lightning. Hope there are no bad injuries. Nothing on the news this morning regarding the storm.

The storm hit at 6:30 P.M. and lasted 20 minutes with 60 m.p.h. winds. The guy that had the limb drop on his roof is going to be OK.

Jeff, thanks for the update. Hope the guy has a speedy recovery.
