I got hit.
Family and friends and me are safe.
How are you guys?
Debris took out my Lincoln and several other cars.
I had gotten rid of my house a little while back (had to) and am currently in an apt. So, I went to my uncle’s brick house 2 blocks away. My old house took damage - poor guys. (It’s minor, tho. And it had a basement.)
We think the tornado must have lifted just as it got here, because the Shell station’s sign (NW63 & May) is in a tree right close to my car. My Honda is fine.
My GF is living with a friend of ours and her kid in Warr Acres. It went right past them.
I ws sick today, so we didn’t do anything. GF and roomy were watching a movie when the sirens went off. I called and they were fairly nervous. They took shelter in the hall (I remodled that place, so I know what rooms are safest there) as phone service cut out. Last thing she had said, “If you can’t get throught to me, would you come get me when it’s done?”
I was beside myself as extremely high winds were pelting the roof and windows of where I was. All I wanted was for it to be over so I could go get her (them).
It’s over. We are all safe. Their house has no power but phone service was restored in minutes (no physical damage, I guess).
She was pretty much in awe as she described it to me. I told her she had finally been in a tornado. I jsut wish I had been there, but it all fired up rather suddenly and looked like it wasn’t coming here. I took them to her roomy’s mom’s place since it has power.
Well, this makes my fourth.
If I’m not making much sense it’s because I’m on the down side of an adrenaline rush. Taking loads of phone calls and IMs, too. Family and friends from out of state.
How are you guys?
