It came across brookpark rd and damaged a house there along with trees snapped and blown over also….spent the day cleaning my dad’s yard up yesterday…….now if we can get Steven barry to help with getting debris up off brookpark rd…..im holding my breath
Yeah those EF-0 tornados show no mercy on trash cans.
My house was directly hit by this storm at midnight; I heard the heavy wind and rain blowing outside my house and peeked through my window and saw a trash can lift a few feet off the ground and another trash can sliding down my street which I thought was kind of funny.
WOW!
