Well we just power back on and it's almost 3pm CST. The tornado hit right after I sent my post last night. The wife, dogs and myself took cover in my gun room and let it go by. Kept waiting for the windows to pop out or something to let go. Sounded like a jet engine,crap flying everywhere.
After it passed we had no power. I did a quick damage control and other than my privacy fence damaged and a couple of tree limbs that fell on my neigbors house I didn't loose a shingle. Lots of junk pieces of fence window trim laying in the yard. My downspouts are MIA as well as my second boat cover on the Tundra;
I cranked up my Honda generator and plugged in some lights an ofcouse my 55 inch Samsung.
Family two doors up had their basement flooded and are missing most of the shingles. Same with next door most of the shingles gone. A house on my side about four doors up lost most of his roof and has most the window gone. Lots of roof and window damage, glass laying around. The center of town two blocks away had a big tree ontop a house and a smaller house with a smaller tree on it. Most of the utility poles were laying in the street twisted and broken like match sticks. Wasn't safe to walk through town and ofcourse driving was impossible. One bridge on a gravel road coming in the back of town was washed out.
As far as I can tell no one was hurt. Just a small one I guess. This make my sixth tornado. My lifetime storm report card reads six tornado, one water spout, two hurricanes at sea one on land.
