Harris Hill is a bit NW of the actual city (about 3-4 miles). From looking at the newspaper reports the tornado was well south of the field. I haven't heard any other info though. -- Matt (long ago member at Harris Hill)


No damage on Harris Hill. Wind gusted over 50, though. Quite a storm to watch from the soaring museum porch as it passed south of the field by a mile or so. Never did see a funnel but the gust front cloud ahead of the main cell was pretty impressive.-- Ron, NSM
