WEATHER WOES
Plentywood, MT
A devastating tornado hit Plentywood and the surrounding area in early July, destroying the airport and damaging homes, business and farms. The National Weather Service classified the storm as a EF1 with 118 mph winds & large hail. Also, a microburst contributed damage at the same time as the tornado. Many old trees were toppled, and roofs, bins, semi-trailers and airplanes went flying. At C&B-Plentywood, windows were blown out of several tractors, shop doors were damaged and the roof and soffits were damaged. C&B Operations donated $5,000 to the Plentywood Angel Tree Charity to help support local families and begin to repair the community.
In Minnesota, multiple days and nights of rain saturated the ground and swelled rivers, causing flooding in several C&B communities.
