"ROBERTS, Idaho (CNN) -- A strong storm, possibly a tornado, passed
through the center of the eastern Idaho town of Roberts, damaging
several roofs, picking up trailers and campers like toys and uprooting
trees.
...
The storm damaged a fueling island at a truck stop as well as roofs of
the five buildings that make up the town's center, Poston said. "It
picked up an entire trailer home and then set it back down on its
foundation," he said.
...
"We don't have tornadoes out here in this area too much," said Larson,
who has lived in Roberts for 38 years. "This was one of the few."
The National Weather Service issued a tornado warning for the area at
4:07 p.m. (6:07 p.m. EDT) "after radar showed cloud movement that could
create tornadolike conditions," said meteorologist Rick Winther.
...
An investigator will determine if it was a tornado by inspecting the
damage path, which is about a mile long, Winther said. "
