    This is what is left of my house after 140 MPH winds. Roof gone, water through all floors and walls, garage torn loose and back wall gone.
    Trees almost gone, My truck beat to hell, dents all over, hole in passenger door, topper ripped off. Pics with phone so not real good, Post some better one later.

    Nobody hurt!!! Lund came out fine, but our two-wheeled aluminum trailer was over in the neighbor’s field all totaled out (picture later). The hardest hit area was approximately 12 miles wide by about 40 miles long. We have since moved out, don’t know yet whether we will be rebuilding or getting a new house. Quite an experience to be sure.

    I sure was looking forward to harassing you at Everts…looks like Ma Nature harassed you enough for a while.

    Hope life gets back to “normal” soon.

    Ouch is a good description. On the plus side you still have a boat? I would’ve thought that would be the first thing to fly away.
