Two days without electricity is enough! I wish I had taken some pictures but I was so absorbed in trying to stay cool that I completely forgot!

Storm Damage?
Besides the power going out, did anyone experience other damage as the result of the storm? Fence knocked over? Shingles missing? Debris deposited on property? Flooding? Tree damage? Windows broken?

Despite the ice that was available at the fire station, the biggest problem was probably food spoilage. Anyone with a freezer full of meat probably lost most of it. Haven't heard many individual damage reports though.

Tempest targets TronaWas it a tornado or just a really, really strong dust devil?
A possible tornado landed in Trona late Monday night, damaging residences and knocking out power to nearly 1,000 residents. "It was a tornado," said resident Keith Sayre, a resident since 1956. It could not be confirmed, however, if indeed a tornado had touched down in Trona.
