You need help with that?
I got what you need, and can be there. Respect meter just went up a thousand points.

We just do what we can. Bob ain't that far away, and I'm selfish... I like hearing his stories!

Thanks Barry! We're good right now. Got some holes in the fence patched and the tree off septic system. It did a good number on it. Now seeing to Steph. Tops of all trees twisted off and up! Trailer down road got picked up and moved. Lots of roaring going on and it wasn't me snoring!  .

Tops of trees twisted off says tornado. Yeah I did t really wanna come out and say it. There's a big mesquite tree out past the gate that has had every limb on it twisted off. And there was a trailer house just down the road by the creek pick up. It's a mess. I just got the underpinning back up where it got sucked off. Had several 3' lengths of 4x4 on top of bbq pit. It blew a good 30' across the yard off top of pit. Got post oak limbs in the yard too. Them trees are back up the road a ways.

Tops of trees twisted off says tornado. Yep, see it lots of time where it does not actually hit the ground. Still does lots of damage. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Once again...Holy Cow! Had to be at least what we call out here a "Micro-burst". What a mess! Looks like you might be adding to your Firewood Stack?

Three miles and nuthin! Yep, had to be a Tornado. So guess what happens here this morning right after I made my first reply to your thread? You got it...WIND and RAIN! It's tossing our coach around pretty good right now and it is starting to get a little intimidating.

You got hit hard. It's hard to believe all that happened in 30 minutes.

It was a verified tornado. We were damn lucky that nobody was injured or killed. The man upstairs took a little pity on us. It could have easily went the other way. Again, glad that you and Steph are OK. miles

You got hit hard. It's hard to believe all that happened in 30 minutes. I know! Crazy thing was in an hour the sun was peeking thru on the horizon. Other than the place looking like the Argonne Forrest about 1917, you'd never known it had stormed.

Greg!!! That conex was the best investment I made. It's fine. I put it in a spot where it's shaded by big crepe myrtles. Never hear of them falling on anything and tearing it up. I have some giant myrtles here on the place. They all seem to weathered ok.
Yeah the new shop et al Is fine!

Hey Bob.... if you do take Barry up on his offer let me know and I'll drive down.
There are few things I can think of that I'd enjoy more than the two of us setting on the porch drinking ice tea and swapping lies while we watch Barry work.....
