The Lida Tornado of June 7, 2007

56572 thanks Bob and Del Gilbertson who live on Tri-Lakes Estates on Lake Lida for sharing this photo Bob took through the window as an EF2 tornado came ashore in Lida Shores at 220 pm on Thursday, June 7, 2007. The highway in the photograph is County Highway 4 along the north shore of Lake Lida. Crystal Lida is to the left, Pelican Rapids to the right. The photo was taken in a southeasterly direction with the point on the center of the photo being the Clay Point at the southwest corner of the Lida Shores. From this angle the tornado seems wider than the 150 yards the NWS estimated.
