Holy smokes, the boats are all lumped together out in the lake:

Aw man, I feel bad for everyone that lost their boat in that mess. So soon before the season starts, ugh.

I'm somewhat surprised at what damage didn't occur. It's almost like the entire dock system...while somewhat intact...was just pulled off the shore connection and left out in the lake. A good chunk of the boats remain lined up in their slips.

Tornados do the strangest things.
I've personally seen entire roofs sitting next to the house they were on with every shingle still intact. Creepy!

From that same storm. there was a house with no damage what so ever, but the huge oak in the front yard was pulled up roots & all laying on it's side in the front yard. (3' diameter trunk!)

Man that really sucks for all the owners. Insurance companies are going to really hate this!! Of course may help all the local boat dealers move some inventory as I am sure most of those boats will be scrapped.

Oak trees tend to have shallow roots. Which is fine unless there's a lot of rain during the days before high winds. The soil gets oversaturated and becomes rather loose. The roots pull right out. Thus the reason there's a large diameter hole left when the oak topples.
