So you’re in IN.
Do you get tornadoes?
We don’t (much) here in Upper East Tennessee, though there was a little-ish one last year right on the southern border of Washington County, where I am. Still, the mountains tend to cause enough turbulence to break up the vortex before it gets big, and that’s -— as I understand it -— what saves us.
Oh yeah!
We get ‘em!
What took our trees were straight line winds.
There is a mile of open field north of our property and that allows the win d to hit us full blast when it is headed south.
All the trees down were within 50 feet of the county road.
hardly any damage past that as MY trees slowed the wind before it got to the house and barn.
