My Mom lives in that area. They got some good ones!



I live at Spruce Creek Fly-In and saw the warnings on TV, but we got
some rain and very little wind, but I could see that the squall line was
really moving!

According to the pictures, the touchdown track was only about 100 - 150
ft in diameter, but it really ripped the stuff it touched!

I looked at the photo on the newpaper's website. It destroyed the
hangar, but the airplanes tied down on either side of it are undamaged.
