Dan Wilson, Alan Reed find Macon Co., TN storm debris in Adair People in Breeding, Webb's Crossroads, Sano, and even Thomas Ridge in Casey County are finding tornado blown material in their yards. Radio station FM 92.7 the WAVE redoubling efforts to warn of impending catastrophic weather events With four photos Special ColumbiaMagazine.com, The WAVE 92.7 story The tornadic thunderstorms that raced through the area last Tuesday, February 5, 2008, was part of the second worst tornado outbreak since 1974. In its north eastward path, the storm dropped debris over several areas around the region. Alan Reed, owner of 92.7 The Wave first noticed bits of insulation and other building material on his property just off Hwy 206 at Cloverport Drive. After more searching, part of a bank check from Lafayette Tennessee. was located. He then contacted Wave Weather Specialist Daniel Wilson and the pair located larger pieces of debris that consisted of aluminum and vinyl as well as a small piece from a Bible with these words inscribed at the top "Disobeyed God." Reed called the Lafayette, Tennesse bank shown on the piece of cancelled check. The receptionist at the bank described the whole town as in shock and told Reed that several of the Macon Bank and Trust Company employees had been impacted by the devastation. In the Sano Community a resident supplied Wilson with an old receipt dated 1976 from a concrete company in Lafayette and other reports of debris came from Breeding, Webb's Crossroads, Sulfur Creek and even at Thomas Ridge in Casey County. "This simply proves the EF-3 tornado that came through Monroe County maintained circulation and strength in order to carry objects over 50 nautical miles. Based on forecast maps, weather conditions and a whole lot of gut feeling, I felt certain we were looking at a significant weather event. That's why on Sunday afternoon we began talking about it on the radio and providing a little forewarning," Wilson said. "It was the same storm that left devastation in the south, only difference it didn;t touch down. We were spared." Wilson said. This story was posted on 2008-02-12 03:41:32
