    A cruel reminder that you don't need an incredibly strong tornado to make a destructive impact on a city. This was rated an F2 with winds up at 115mph; not incredibly strong.

    I was in Bountiful, UT, on this day. I looked south and saw green clouds. At that moment I knew that things were not going to be good. I'll never forget this day.

    I was not even 7 yet and had just finished a Mother Goose play at the Children's Theater. We were driving home and I saw that tornado behind us in my grandma's rearview mirror. I was with her, my aunt and my cousin who is the same age. None of them believed me when I say there was a twister behind us. They didn't even try to look. We were lucky and didn't get hit with anything more than some wind heading to back to Sugar House, but to say that experience built a fear of not being listened to the the rest of my life is an understatement.

    When America was united as a greatest team in the world who were most proud, patriotic, and hard working people full of hope and glory determined to not allow all that is against us to divide and defeat us. This video is familiarly the old America I remember of 25 to 30 years ago, but I wasn't there that day. People used to pull together serving when a call of duty arises helping one another though it was the same low paying debt based economic fully global scale scam resulting in the conspiracy chaos we're faced with in the 2020's.

    there was a recent windstorm in Cache Valley, maybe 2022, where winds got to hurricane level. Knocked over trees and tore down a couple fences.

    It’s the KSL archive, its not a new story. says in the title 1999. It cause 116 million dollars in damage, and yes only one person died - but over a hundred were injured, and some were very close to dying
