I talked to Don this morning, he and his family are fine, the house not so much. Two large tree were knocked down on the house, severe damage. They are back in the house, but they will have to do a major rebuild before it's all done.

He said they got the internet back on, but the computer was the last thing on his mind. He also said thanks for the concern, he will post some photos in the next few days.

It's a shame that they had that much damage, but at least they are alright. It was amazing that there were no serious injuries; I heard that no one was taken to a hospital!

Thanks for the update Frank. I know he is very close to the damage zone and am glad they are all right.....

Ok boys and girls, I am here. The tornado went right thru my back yard and then turned up Second street in Dexter. Lots of damage north west and south of me. You really find out who your friends are after something like this. I must have had 20 people on Friday and 10 Saturday and Sunday helping with the clean up. I have been running for 4 Days. I will give you guys links to the pictures of my house and the yard when I can get them to photobucket. Just too * tired an the end of the day.
Thanks for thinking off my and the Princess.

Wow, that's a lot of damage! Luckily the house held. Was there no header above that window or had you already removed it?  I saw on the news that they are bringing a big tub grinder down from the Thumb to grind as much of the wood as possible. Good luck.

[river1]

 WOW is right!!!

looks like you're set for firewood for a while

also looks like you have plenty of help, shows the kind of family you are for that much help to come out

good luck
