About 9:30 Monday night, a small wind storm in burley picked up an aluminum shed and tossed it over the fence. A resident of a mobile home park at 300 East 27th Street in Burley said he saw what he thought were three funneling clouds. The man said the wind was blowing clock wise around him.

His neighbor was inside her house and heard a loud noise. She came outside to discover the wind had picked up the aluminum shed behind her house, and tossed it over her fence into her neighbor's yard.

Part of the sheet metal was deposited in her neighbor's tree on the other side of his house, as were some fishing poles that were stored in the shed. The woman says her shed had been tied to it's foundation with a metal cable, which was still attached to the shed's original location.
