last year we had straight line winds hit grant county, and when they did it knocked out electricity to most of the county, caused the grant county marching band's simi trailor to spin around and be pushed all the way to the other side of the schools parking lot, destroyed a dug out and the football fields score board, and flipped the football teams trailors. (and this wasn't even including the rest of the county, just the high school) i personally think straight line winds are worse than tornadoes
