News and some photos today – no one got a photo of the tornado – the photos were of the damage.  And it wasn’t a tornado of the Kansas – Iowa sort, but apparently the several strong cells that whooshed through did have signifigant rotation and one bit of rotation touched ground south of Polson and several other bits over Flathead Lake – one which picked up a 26 foot sailboat and spun it 360 flinging the occupants over the side – they were rescued unhurt.  In fact, no people were hurt.  The roof came off an arena where a barrel racing event was going on – terrifying to horses and people and one horse was killed, another hurt but looks like he will recover.  From “The Daily Interlake” (Kalispell newspaper)  – the following article   http://www.dailyinterlake.com/articles/2007/07/20/news/news01.txt
