Here are some images from yesterday’s crazy storm that rolled through Billings. It started like any other spring storm, except this time a tornado made an appearance,,,the first one here in nearly fifty years. I had spent most of the afternoon reading a new book when the hail came, and with it the usual hard rain. I thought nothing of it. Within minutes, however, the winds started to really push and the city sirens began blaring. By the time I had gathered up my gear, my street had started to flood and I had to get in my Escape through the passenger door from the curb. These are some of the things I saw in the next hour.
