It appears that the storm cell went over my head, there was a period of intense rain and strange winds.
I thought I left this in Colorado. Be safe Clark County.

Yup, the Vancouver area gets about one tornado a year, it's weird how they always seem to touch down in highly populated areas each time. I remember a few years ago when a tornado went right down Hazel Dell, which is one of the more urbanized areas of the city. Right down mainstreet basically. Then the next year, it happened again. Same spot.
There were no reported injuries. Something like 30 houses damaged. Supposedly bigger than the one last year.
It's been a weird storm system. A house outside of Salem got struck by lighting and destroyed. 6 people in it, and no one got hurt.
Good thing I live in Vancouver, it seems like they always happen north of here.

Unfortunately, this one touched down almost directly in my back yard... Literally.
I own one of the original farmhouses here in Battle Ground, so we have enjoyed having property right in the heart of town, that has been a park like setting... until today. Basically all of my trees torn down, and those that weren't are heavily damaged by the others slamming into them, or basically tearing all of their branches off.
It looks like a bomb went off in my back yard. But, no one was hurt, and for the most part, no building damage occurred. The cleanup has begun. Some of which is pretty dangerous since I have half fallen trees all over the place and more pungy sticks than 1969 Vietnam.
It's been one hell of a year. Our house in Mexico, which is in the middle of nowhere, made news this year since Hurricane Patricia hit the little sleepy fishing village where it sits almost directly head on, causing a shit ton of damage, and again, leveling the entire jungle around it.

My condolences for your trees, and glad as hell that you suffered no other harm.
Not sure if this apples to apples, but our insurance sucked rocks on replacing trees.
Holler if I can help.

Wow!! Damn man, glad you're safe and that damage was relatively minimal. That's so crazy.

Glad to hear everyone is OK. I live about 10 miles south. I remember hearing a couple of loud booms
right about the time of the tornado. No 'crackle, crackle, boom'. No lightning. Just 'boom', then two
minutes later another 'boom'. Rattled the house each time.

Crazy shit there.

Woah, man.
Sounds eirily like when Hurricane Ike came through. Knocked down trees all around us, and right through houses on either side of us, but our house was left unscathed. Karma came around though, as a subsequent wind storm tipped a big one into the entry roof when all around us was fine. Didn't break off, the whole thing, roots and all, just peeled out of the ground leaving a crater.
Be mindful of the trees still standing alone now, as they no longer have the wind support from the ones that already have fallen. Standing alone, after having others grow around them, means it won't take as much to blow them over.

Happy to hear that it was only "stuff" that took the hit.
You've got your work cut out for you. No envy from me. Hang in there bro.
