Who Needs a Tornado?

Early Friday morning (it had to be, I got to bed around midnight) I was woken up while it was still dark by lots of thunder and lightning.  Normally I don't care much about a middle-of-the-night thunderstorm, but there was so much that in my groggy state I went to turn on the radio beside my bed.  I listened as the usual updates that happen constantly when there is severe weather in the area played and they announced the counties the severe thunderstorm was affecting.  Ours wasn't mentioned so I shut the radio off and went back to sleep.
That morning I found out our neighbor's power poll was tilted and was getting replaced.  That was all the damage I was aware of.  However when I went to work today, I discovered it was a lot worse there.
Even after a day to clean up (granted we had another storm that night) there were still downed trees and branches and leaves and sticks filled the gutters.  I saw that bigger trees had been uprooted while others had lost major branches.  So many trees were reshape or down that I could barely recognize the area with all the open spaces where they had been.
At work there was a three story cotton wood in the parking lot, it's gone now (it was so badly damaged that they just got rid of the whole thing). The gazebos we have bolted out on the patio were still standing but the cloth covers were tore to shreds, and one's top was even inverted downward.  Trees were missing branches or even missing altogether.  One pine tree, I had heard, was even on the building.
In other places in town I saw that part of a road had been blocked off because of a tree that had fallen in the yard had spilled over onto it.  I'm pretty sure another tree may have even landed on the railroad it was nearby, by I can't be sure.  When I was driving to work I even got a little nervous of a branch that was hanging in a tree over the road.  As for structural damage, the only kind I saw was that of a tin garage door by the elevator.  It looked as if someone had punched it in.
It looked like a tornado had hit (I had this thought and later heard someone else say the same thing) but it was really just straight line winds going roughly 80 mph.  What's more, we're suppose to keep having bad weather through the rest of the weekend.
