The tornadoes found the Camping World. See, build any kind of mobile home park or retailer and you are just temping the weather gods and their disdain for cheaply constructed mobile living units.

I'm glad I missed this one.Two tornadoes touched down in northern Arizona early Wednesday, derailing 28 cars of a parked freight train, blowing semis off the highway and smashing out the windows of dozens of homes.

More from Jean Gilbertson at the Blue Ridge Ranger Station:
As many of you already know we experienced a tornado here at Blue Ridge. We believe it's path ran from Forest Road 141, Forest Road 751, Little Springs Hill on Highway 87, Forest Road 211 and 82, and Forest Road 9726J. A very rough estimate of size is approximately 10-15 miles long and 100 yards wide. We believe that it is probably longer then that, but we are still patrolling and assessing the damage. A LOT of large Ponderosa Pines have been lost, well more then 100!
NOTICE: For residents in the Blue Ridge area, no homes or structures have been damaged or lost.

Doing a little bit of calculations with GoogleEarth, 63 miles SE of Escalante and 40 miles SW of Bullfrog is near the eastern edge of Cummins Mesa, near the headwaters of a tributary of Wetherill Canyon.
That's about here:

More oddities from me. I took some photos today (while trying not to get pelted by hail and hit by lightning). I came across this when I was developing RAWs this evening:

It's nature working within itself. It's not logging or a human caused wildfire. Just a natural occurrence. I don't see it as sad. Heck, our ponderosa forests are so unnaturally overgrown, that thinning will probably create a healthy little patch of forest.tibber wrote:how sad.

Wonder how many Ponderosas fall on an average day. Wonder if the ones that fell were healthy. I wonder if one fell and bopped Jim in the head if he'd throw an "I love Flagstaff" party.

Old cycling friends have come to town, and we are hiking Escudilla on Sunday. So I can get you the tourist leaf report if you want it. It is going to be crowded up there, I would guess we will see 30 to 50 hikers. UGH!!! But I am mainly going because I need something steep to walk up. And to hang with my very fit friends.

The photos in the email looked very impressive. Some huge ... 2+ft diameter trunks, sure looked healthy to me.joe bartels wrote:Wonder if the ones that fell were healthy.

No, probably not. Not when it is chilly and windy up here, as it is today.joe bartels wrote:Wonder how many Ponderosas fall on an average day. Wonder if the ones that fell were healthy. I wonder if one fell and bopped Jim in the head if he'd throw an "I love Flagstaff" party.

Anyone have any pics of this? I wonder what it looks like. Maybe it will provide some openings for grass to take over. Be glad its a tornado and not a hurricane. Nothing like thousands of acres of blow down.hippiepunkpirate wrote:It's nature working within itself. It's not logging or a human caused wildfire. Just a natural occurrence. I don't see it as sad.

My son was canoeing Boundary Waters in 1999 during the huge blow-down there on the 4th of July. 600 square miles of forest blew down. He (who is relatively fearless) said it was amazing. http://www.spc.noaa.gov/misc/AbtDerecho ... 99page.htm
