Wind Damage - Cottage Grove, Indiana		02/06/2008

Photographer's Description: 2 story wooden barn structure.

Photographer	Richard Pruitt
Date taken	February 6, 2008
Location	Cottage Grove, IN (Union County) map
Event	Straight-line wind damage

Additional notes

A strong line of thunderstorms moved across the Miami Valley during the early morning hours of February 6. This line was associated with the widespread Super Tuesday severe weather outbreak, which killed more than 50 people in Arkansas, Tennessee and Kentucky.

While winds around 60 mph usually will not uproot healthy large trees, the very wet soil likely made it easier to topple trees in this situation.
