Has anyone confirmed the "Twister" at Carlisle yesterday and determined the status of everyone?  Type of damage, etc.?

See this thread and the reply from Hmel '74.  Doesn't sound like a Tornado, but it doesn't sound good...
 



I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

No visual sighting of a twister and no physical evidence of a twister.
Lots of tents were twisted and busted at the fairgrounds, but the debris was all in a straight line from west to east. Very high winds with rain for about 5 minutes. It shook my car while I was in the parade on the main street. Lots of tree limbs and powerlines were down.
It put a real damper on Sunday mornings activities, but the show carried on.
