Kris,

That is definitely a nice damage path and one of a tornado. Thanks for posting and yet I would like to see more damage pictures of the event.

Regards,

Interesting to know how far it went inland. Looking at that path it has come off the water - could it have been a waterspout that then made landfall?

And no, I am not quite sure of the technical differences between a waterspout and a tornado if any :-)

EDIT - by manually going up one level on the website and looking at filenames there is another picture. Not sure why everything is dated 2006 though, possibly buggy website software.
