Tornado trees

Yesterday, Monday 10 May a tornado hit east Norman. Quick look at Olivers Woods driving down south Chautauqua and east on Bratcher Mine Rd revealed nothing dramatic. A couple of medium size cottonwoods were pushed over in a northeastward direction but had not come down. I parked at the NE gate and walked the Escarpment trail to the Elm bridge. One small dead elm had blown eastward across the trail. Along the EW Fence Line trail all was clear. Through the Woods there were dead snags that had blown down. The Trans OWP trail was blocked by the leafy canopy of a largish broken green ash. Next to it, a tall straight pecan had blown over eastward, snapping at the base. A box turtle was enjoying the wet leaves at the base.
