[MCARC] Tornado - 2.53 miles WNW of Beattie

[Dennis Mason]

Yes... as Norma and I were returning to Marysville Last Sat. afternoon, 
about 1 mile West of Beattie corner on 36 hwy,  we noted a spot on the North 
side of the road of 2 trees, one was severely laid over pointing due East 
and the other only about 100 ft East of it, was damaged laying over to the 
South, indicating tornatic winds very strong maybe 80 - 90 mph.  Dennis
