We just got power back and were alive/well and still have a house. One of the tornados made it's way directly over our house while we hunkered down in it. The noise, vibrations, ear popping, and wondering if your house is going to implode is something I can't describe and do any justice but I can tell you that there is no sweeter sound then the silence and pressure release that come as the tornado moves past you.
It cleared out several trees in my front and back yard, some over 100 years old some in the roof of my garage (broke my priceless and un replaceable Dancraft 3/4 wt
). Three trees Punched a 2x4 hole in my garage roof, took out my fence and my shed. Looking at the devastation in my front and back yard and my neighbors yard I feel blessed. Looking at the destruction up and down the road I know we were blessed.
I'd like to thank Craig (Itchus) he was here helping me before I even realized I needed a friend to just be around. I won't get sappy but if you look up reliable friend you'll see his picture there.
Franklin Road Baptist Church who drove up with a youth group and help us cut our way out of the driveway. All the others who drove by asked if we needed help and those who stopped and helped. TN is full of great people and today just proved that.
I hope everybody else is ok. I’ve been into town and I realize we got off easy. Murfreesboro looks like a war zone right now.
I think tomorrow we are going to get a group together and go help some people. I’d love to make the event and I may make it still but right now the community needs all the help it can get.
If anyone here needs anything please let us know!
