Arkansas Hurricane?

Ike made his way to Bismarck, AR last night and seemed to pick on the Bray clan particularly. All the damage below happened within a half-mile stretch on highway 7. The trees seemed to fall indiscriminately in different directions. Maybe there was a tornado in the mix as well as the high winds. All we sustained at our place were a few small limbs and leaves littering the yard.
My Aunt Irene's front yard. The tree was still smoking as a result of falling across power lines last night.
Cousin Sherry's fruit stand awnings were crumpled up, but there was no apparent damage to the produce.
Weird. This was a large banner advertising produce at cousin Sherry's fruit stand, but all that is left are the edges. She told me the rest of the sign was down in the field behind her house.
My cousin Helen Ruth lost several pines and a couple of persimmon trees that were blown down in different directions.
