It's the fifth anniversary of the Lackawanna County tornado.
It hit on a Saturday afternoon, and even though I was just about six miles away from it, I slept through the twister.
The storm started near the Luzerne County line, traveled through an area outside of Moscow, over Montage Mountain, and eventually to Lake Scranton. Trees downed-- hundreds. Thankfully, no one was seriously hurt, but there were some very close calls, especially at Lake Scranton.
Weekends keep me in the office, but I did have a chance to look around the next Monday. I took the photo above along Route 502, and you can see the bent trees on the upper left.
I haven't been up that way in a while, but I understand you can still see the scars.
