After looking at the prop, you either got hit with one heck of a supersonic tail wind, or a tornado must have touched down on the wing while parked. I'm no expert but I sure would not have wanted to be in or near the craft when what ever happened...happened to it!
Dave, Back in late 1980, I hopped aboard an Air Force C-130 or C-131 from the Carolina's to Germany as a passanger soldier. Never froze so bad! Was seated in 1st class, a leather strap they called a seat! Half way throught the 10 hour flight I was given a C-Ration as my mid-flight meal! And when I had to utalize the facilities, it was rough (I dare not explain to the civilians reading how it was accomplished).
I hope the Coast Guard has better facilities on there birds than the Air Force had on there long distant flights!

OUCH! Did the prop hit the water?
No, they are bent the wrong way. Those are some gutsy moves. All I can say is WOW.
Water ski anyone?

Dave, this looks like the same fence line that had the twister behind it (earlier post). Is that what happened?
