Twisted mess After the June 26 storm that hit Watrous with high wind and rain, knocking down trees and scattering debris, a second storm hit, this time July 3. The latest edition - also on a Tuesday - packed pea-sized hail, heavy rain and wind. A tornado was reported southwest of Watrous and damage was done to farmyards like Kerry Martin’s (pictured). Martin had bins tossed by the wind, trees snapped and damage to crops as well. –– Daniel Bushman/TWM

Terrible Tuesdays? Tuesday seemed to be a day for storms for Watrous over the past two weeks. The fi rst came June 26. Then July 3, heavy rains mixed with pea-sized hail and even a confi rmed twister southwest of town caused damage to the area. Bins lay toppled over, farmyards damaged, a portion of 3rd Ave. E.
