-------Just saw what you posted, Charlie, and called my friend, Bob. He had just left the fairgrounds last night and was half way back to the Days Inn when the storm hit. It had a very narrow path and he said the trees were getting sucked upward which would seem to be tornado-like. He also said that although the damage on the fairground was severe the downtown area got more damage. Apparently, one person is in a local hospital in critical condition but the reported death has not been confirmed and hopefully is not true........Bill S
