This afternoon Omaha was hit with its 3rd major storm in less than 3 wks. This storm had straight line winds of 80mph. My neighbor's 30+ foot cottonwood tree was uprooted like someone just tipped it over. I was at a golf course when the weather deteriorated. Luckily the center of the storm passed to my southwest. As I was putting my clubs in the trunk, the wind to the sw sounded like a freight train. You always hear tornado victims talk about that sound, but I've never heard it before. It was scary. I moved Punkin into the cart barn when things got rough and road out the storm from there. It moved through quickly but left lots of tree damage. Unfortunately it was another killer storm - 2 people died when a tree fell on their car. That brings the 3 wk total to 7 with the 5 Boy Scouts. It's been a wicked June.

Sorry for the hijack. Guess it makes sense that a conv wouldn't provide protection in a thunderstorm. Just remember to respect Mother Nature. She plays for keeps.
