A few weeks ago we had a pretty severe wind storm hit Cedar Valley. The guy that works for my dad and lives at the ranch said he actually saw a funnel cloud touch down. Here are the results from that storm...
These sprinkler lines are supposed to be in straight line (obviously)
These 2 lines hit each other and are all wrapped around each other.
Not exactly in a straight line :)
All tangled up.
Most of the ends look like this.. The metal just twisted itself all up and eventually broke off.
Yea, this is supposed to be in a circle.
My poor dad had over 500 lengths of pipe damaged. He had sprinkler lines from one end of the ranch to the other! They went over fences, all over everywhere!! Whats crazy is they were all blown in different directions. We found one length of pipe that was from a couple fields down in a different field which makes it seem like it was a tornado.. It didn't just blow in one direction- He had sprinkler pipes spread in all directions. It took a lot of time and work just to get them somewhat gathered and off the hay fields so the hay would grow! I don't think they will be running their sprinklers anytime soon :( CRAZY!!
