Just got back from camping and heard about it on the news up here. My thoughts go out to you guys in Tornado country. Its gotta be tough watching your life fly away.
I simply can't convey how I feel about your plight there. Take care.

We're good here. The closest tornado was roughly five miles away, as the crow flies. We had everything from pea-sized to tennis-ball sized hail with a deluge of rain that lasted nearly an hour. We had debris land on our house and property; mostly pink insulation, roofing materials...and a 7/16" Snap-On combo wrench! Someone's toolbox got blown out, no doubt.

Had the tornado tracked northeast rather than east, chances are it would've got to me. Amazingly, no one at work that lives in that area had major damage. I do know a couple of people that had substantial damage to everything they have. One of my wife's friends' house was on TV. The reporterette was talking to two women about their house, and my wife's friends' house was in the background. His Corvette had every window blown out, his Chevy truck had one whole side gone, and the garage roof and door were blown clean way...but inside the garage, his '70-1/2 Camaro Z/28 sat completely untouched by the storm! Tornadoes are freaky things.

As some of you guys know, I got blown away in the May 8, 2003 tornado that hit OKC. That shi# just ain't fun, I tell ya!
