Another Close Call

Karin and I took Friday May 2 off from work to attend First Monday Trade Days in Canton TX. Although it's called First Monday It's actually the weekend before the First Monday. Confused yet?
At any rate we had planned to get there at 8:30 AM. Well one thing after another and we are running a couple of hours behind schedule. When we finally arrived we saw several helicopters and quite a few law enforcement officers in the area. Finally one of our favorite dealers told us the full story.

"Around 8 AM the sky became dark and stormy. Then around 8:30 AM everything got very quiet and dark that's when the twister touch down in the area of Hwys 64 and 19, a mere few yards from the unreserved section near the Civic Center. Several trees were uprooted, cars damaged, merchandise lost or destroyed, a couple of injuries, but it could have been much worse. Luckily it stayed off the Trade Day grounds or no doubt there would have been folks severely hurt or killed."

As it was several dealers had "I survived the Canton Tornado Sales" Here's a link to the story
