What I find amazing is that I generally learn about a tornado event in the USA from New Zealand before I see any news of it here :eek:;):LOL::LOL: Sunday morning I jumped on CHR, saw Robin's post and said to my wife, "Did we have tornadoes in the MidWest yesterday?" "Not that I heard about" was her reply, but a quick Google told us differently. I guess that living with "Tornado Alley" so close has dulled my senses to them somewhat....:HMMM: or at least more than Robin's.;)
Long ago when I was young we lived in Chicago in the 60s and 70s there were plenty of them there Lemont Il. Oak Lawn and right on the south side of Chicago. I have seen cars going end over end down a street that same tornado put a box car through a wall of a building on the second floor. Scary stuff
Couple yrs ago 1 went thru the South West part of town. Wiped out a neighborhood.
Some guys from work & I spent a day cutting & hauling trees.
This 1 felt different even tho it was 70 miles away.
Isulation, siding, wood particles on our driveway!!
A couple blocks from us a guy had the
" Welcome To Washington " sign in his yard!!
Ours was bad for sure but the thoughts // feelings of this one are incomparable.
We had no damage, but Morris did, & thats only a 20 min drive!!
Most definately we were & are praying for those affected
That's because we're about eighteen hours ahead of you.Quote:

Terrible devastation, but you took some great pictures, Pro. That last one - it's like any place that has a bunch of RV, modular wheeled, trailer type vehicles is a tornado magnet! Seems like too often the news brings the story that a tornado hit a trailer park, and they just fly apart.
And both my brother in laws have been looking at campers at that place---should be some sales on slightly marred but seriously damaged ones?
And for you guys down under---In my quest to reach a goal in life to (see tomorrow become yesterday) should I move down there or should you all move up here???????????
That is Easy-Living RV Sale & Service. I think they got hit about the hardest here. Tornado hit them pretty hard on the way out of town.Quote:

Jerry...Good point... I suppose,,if you are hungry for the weekend,,ya better come down now..It's Thursday,,7.35AM...:D:D..
My heart goes out to those poor buggers affected.
Even if they suffered no physical injuries they have seen the hopes, dreams, and aspirations shattered.
A lifetime's working and dreaming . . . destroyed.
All the little trinkets that make a house a home and are dear to you . . . either destroyed or gone.
I went to the dentist yesterday and had two teeth removed, it took him nearly two hours and I'm not feeling too happy today, in fact I am very small most mis'able dog; but my problems are trivial in comparison.
Our thoughts are with all those affected.
