In Tennessee this is unheard of, as they usually skip around on the high ground. Wynnewood took a direct hit by the funnel cloud. We observed rotational patterns engraved into the soil by debris. It is the only building in the tornado's direct path (not general storm cell) to have any part standing. Frame built houses looked like stacks of pick-up sticks and mobile homes were simply gone, only to be identified by foundations. The wide profile of Wynnewood took the brunt of the force, causing the roof, chimney and half of the top floor to come off and land in the front yard. The entire structure, although mostly standing, was pushed a full 13 inches off the foundation! I've been a lot of places and seen all kinds of things, but seeing this grand building still standing after the hit it took was one for my personal record book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4335244397807202721.post-63077902595493014322008-06-24T18:02:00.000-06:002008-06-24T18:02:00.000-06:00Thanks for this post, although the picture brought...Thanks for this post, although the picture brought tears.

Until the roof fails a lot of houses will withstand considerable wind. <BR/><BR/>Of course, dating from 1828 the building in question (and your home) probably have a heavy ridge beam and some huge rafter 4-8 feet on center with purlins between them. The roof sheathing would run from eave to ridge if that is the case. <BR/><BR/>If you can get at the roof framing from the attic, it might be worth tying it to the top plate/log with some engineered plate fasteners. If you don't already know all of this stuff, google Simpson StrongTies.<BR/><BR/>democommieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4335244397807202721.post-29546590036702381752008-02-22T04:03:00.000-06:002008-02-22T04:03:00.000-06:00tornado's are fasinating, to see the destruction f...tornado's are fasinating, to see the destruction first hand breath taking. <BR/><BR/>how about TN, part of a new tornado alley?Old Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14796296042415354673noreply@blogger.com
