...along with HUGE hail, terrible wind (stuff blew from one side of the farm to the other, lifted part of the garage roof off...).
And DANG IT, two of my BEST looking tomatoes got their primary stems snapped completely OFF!! ACK!!!!! The tomatoes are planted in front of the chicken house, which acts and a GREAT wind break from strong, HOT southern winds. But this storm came at us from the NORTH, so my chicken house windbreak didn't save them.
There were tornado warnings all around us, rotation in the clouds, and there were several touch downs in a town about 9 miles from us.

And a video here (you will see the big hail we got, my sad tomato and other garden plants, and lots of critters):
