At the location with the strongest estimated winds, a metal barn was destroyed and a wind turbine that was rated to withstand winds to 95 mph had the blades ripped off and the flange bolt assembly ripped apart. Shingles were ripped off houses and outbuildings and unsecured objects such as lawn chairs became airborne missiles. Ripening hay in many fields was leveled and pinto bean plants in other fields were ripped to shreds and flattened. |
