2019 Dayton OH Tornado(s)
« on: June 03, 2019, 11:18:13 AM »
The Dayton Buzzin' Buzzards' flying field after an EF-4 (166 - 200 mph winds} tornado Memorial Day night. I live about 10 minutes north of the field. Another EF-2 went through less than half a mile north of our home.

Thanks to Ed Wallace for the pics.

Sorry to see the damage.  Just had an EF-4 go through here too.  At least the circles themselves are still there.  Good luck with the clean up.

   I know that tornados are serious business (having been in or near several in my youth, including a 5 during the Super Outbreak in 1974). But I recall offering to (or being restrained by my buddies from) go rent a chain saw and cut all those trees down, last time I flew there!  That was the day I folded my stab in *inverted level flight* due to turbulence.

I witnessed a tornado in Kansas City and it blew me away.

not sure what you're talking about turbulence near ground level...  been flying there every Tuesday for a year, and the air is pretty good.  the trees can hide higher level breeze, but never had issues below the tree line.....  trying to blame bad air for structure fatigue?   VD~
