Glad to hear you are good,
I have been wondering if anybody on the forum was hit by that storm.
when it came through Utah a few days ago it beat us up bad, and we are quite protected with the mountains.
My daughter and I got caught in a wicked micro-burst that gave me a new respect of those who experience tornado's.
1 minute of hell, in fact the scariest 1 minute of my life.
The far side of my willow tree was twisting around to hit my power wagon parked on the other side!!! don't know how the tree did not break.
the wind literally stopped me in my tracks, i could not get to my daughter across the yard and the very sharp aluminum siding from my neighbors house was flying over and around, and between us. (scary as hell!)
found pieces a block away and some embedded in one of my trees.
No fun!
I pray you are all safe in the Midwest!
