Winds so high it lifted him off his feet, trees down on the house, roof damaged, Gene's truck was damaged, fences down, power lines down and crackling, tents smashed... the J Jon was the only thing still standing. No one hurt! I know my friends will pull on their boots and get working. I hate this for Ed, he's one of my best friends here. Kent

Said he should make it home a bit faster since he now has an Ackley Improved hood on his truck. How many obama supporters does it take to change a light bulb? None, they prefer to remain in the dark.

No one injured and animals all OK, but it's a mess and main damage seems to be on Ed's home and Curdog's truck. Power is out - no well pump - someone went to Gilmer for water - they all need coffee this morning. Thank goodness the gang is there to help Ed and Barbara with the house and other cleanup. Dennis said that, as usual, the guys are of great attitude and everyone is pitching in heavily. Clearly not going to be anything like a typical Campfire gathering Saturday, and all of those shooting plans may have been for naught. If you know more - please post. Thanks.

One big oak on the front of the house, big limb ripped power line from the house, tearing the service box off, so we have no power. The road is now clear, Birdwatcher made a drinking water run, we have a Porta Potty as well as two 1+ acre ponds, so flushing toilets is still an option. electrician and tree cutter on the way to get the tree off of the house, breakfast is cooking, and spirits are high. We are still going to hold the shooting matches and fully intend to have fun. Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers.

Weather forecast just changed, high winds forecast again this afternoon, so some shooting events may not happen. We'll see. I'm going to be offline for a bit, taking care of stuff.
