An extremely rare tornado hit ground right at the Vancouver Lake Crew equipment location on Thursday afternoon (1/10/2008) at 12:24 pm making us “ground zero” for the local and not some not so local news outlets.    The additional press is good as we need help rebuilding the program but it is unfortunate to be put in this position.   To read about the EF1 tornado and the damage it has done to our program, see the various news links below.     To help rebuild the program, please send donations to:
