We are all still here.  We had some pretty cary weather, but most of the damage was south of us.  I'll be calling Troy-the-just today and getting details, we live about an hour from each other.  Thanks for the concern, we appreciate it.

Sad news out there.  We're glad you guys are okay.  Thanks Top for mentioning this, as I've been away from the news lately.

Nature's wrath unleashed.  Not to throw down the "climate change" card but this has been a heck of a year.

Thought I would say we had another big series of storms move thru the last few days.  Everyone is fine, but several small towns in the area were wiped off the map.  All I lost was a whole lot of tree limbs and my south privacy fence is now on the nort side of my yard.  I have some yard work to do for a while. :D

On a side note, I was the only house in the immediate neighborhood that still had power.  I ended up running extention cords to hearby house to help them power neccessities.
