Checking in.. We're ok sorta... several trees knocked down at the new house, no power, no phone, no internet, no heat, running on my generator one out of four hours. Neighbors house across the street had an add-on Florida room made of alum. It lifted off the rear of her house, flew over her roof, (bi-level house) severed the primary wire on the utility pole in front of my house and landed about 30+ feet up in one of our trees. There's a 30-40 long burn mark in my lawn from the 6400 volt primary wire. Utility poles up and down the street are snapped like twigs. 5 poles in a row in front of the high school snapped off about 3 blocks away from me. Lots of trees gone, especially it seems, the pine trees. Neighbors Audi became a pillow for a falling pine tree.. total loss.. My 21 footer rode out the storm on her trailer with zero damage. The 20 footer also suffered no damage other than she's about 40 feet from where she was tied down on her trailer. We moved back to the old house earlier today since it had power restored to it so at least we have lights, heat, and internet back again.
Willy, I am so sorry to hear about Senior Bert. If you are going to salvage her and need any help you have my phone number. Use it.
Lumber, sorry to hear about your brother, glad you're ok.
BRielly, Sorry for your loss also.
Everyone,... thank God no one was hurt and all families are safe... that's the most important thing.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
