| I know I haven't been on here much in a couple of months. I've had several members get in touch with me this afternoon to check on me, so I thought I would fill in the gaps. A tornado hit my home and farm this afternoon at a few minutes after 4:00. We had one come thru in April 2006 that literally leveled my home, and operation. This one was not nearly as intense. I lost my shop completely, the roof of my horse barn, most of my working pens, and the house is still very much livable. I doubt we will be able to live in it while it's being repaired. I was home when it hit, but thankfully my wife and children were not. I feel the same way about this one, as did the last one. I'm glad nobody was injured. The rest is sticks, and stones. All replaceable. |

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | Oh gosh that is terrible! I know here in WY I take it for granted that we have few storms that will really cause any issues. The Oct blizzard was one, but we were on just the tip of it. I can't imagine what it would be like to live where there are tornados, hurricanes, earthquakes...
So glad everyone is OK. Prayers for you and your family |

My parents lost their home to a tornado in the late 70's. I so agree with replacing things but you sure can't replace lifes.
Hugs to you.. |

| I guess having already been thru one, kinda takes the shock value out of this one. I just can't believe I've been hit twice. The last one leveled everything. I'm guessing this one did between 80 and $100,000 damage. |

Location: In The Land of Cotton | I'm glad you are okay. When the tornado hit our house on a Christmas Eve, my children were home I was not. I had the same attitude you do, no one was hurt. The rest of the stuff is just stuff.
Prayers for you in the coming days as you start your cleanup. |

| A school bus went down the road about 5 minutes before the tornado hit. Somehow in the midst of the excitement I thought to praise God that it had already been thru. It looked like it had 35-40 kids on it. I guess the Lord watches over fools and children, because we all made it fine. |
