Tornado damage near Bunch, Oklahoma

The storm that blew through Thursday morning did more damage than I knew. A few miles north Bunch, out in the rural area of Adair County, a small tornado hit a couple of trailers. One of our students was injured, not seriously thankfully. Our mail carrier's truck was destroyed when a tree fell on it. The twister hopped it's way across Adair County, touching down in a couple of more locations, taking out a barn here and tearing up a fence there, before making another appearance near Morrow, Arkansas.

We're not in Tornado Alley here in far eastern Oklahoma. That's out in the central part of the state around Oklahoma City, Enid and Wichita, Kansas. Adair County has less tornadoes than any other county in the state. But not yesterday in the early morning. Thankfully, no deaths or serious injuries occurred.
