Description
Hi all: Just a quick note to let everyone know we got hit by a tornado Friday around 5:30 p.m. Luckily, our home was not damaged but two blocks north of us was damaged heavily. We have no power, and with a lot of Michigan without power (more than one storm hit) it will take awhile to get our power back. We do have a small generator, which powers our refrigerator and a few lights, but not the whole house. I was able to plug my PC into the generator for a little while to get online, but it will be a little bit before I can catch up on all my comments!!!!! We were really surprised by this, as we were told to expect a thunder storm and it had been raining, but nothing special. The town six miles to the west of us got hit the worst, and we lost our brand new Tractor Supply Store that just opened in July (I get my horse stuff there). Lots of people lost their homes. The area where I keep my horse about 25 minutes south of where I live, did not get hit at all, thank God, so the animals are okay. Michigan does not get a lot of tornadoes the way other states do, so we are always surprised by them. I will catch up on comments as soon as I can or when I can get online with the generator. Hugz, Sherrie

Gald you're okay. Now send some of that rain up north. We need it. You can keep the wind if you want it. btw, am I the only one who though the tornado on the thumbnail looked as though it was censored? Since when are tornadoes nekkid? Okay, it's probably just me...

Oh boy.. I don't know what to say other than I totally feel for you! :( My own country is facing at the moment the worst disaster in its history.. huge fires over 3/4 of its land, all our beautiful mountains and villages turned to ashes.. it's an apocalypsis! :( At least be thankful taht you can rebuild what you've lost on a beautiful healthy environment.. this morning once I saw on TV what was left behind at places the fires had passed by.. I started crying.. worse picture one can ever see.. a dead land, grey and black where used to be a paradise.. this will take decades to bring back to shape.. I'm mourning not for the loss of lives, trees and animals.. but for my own country too! :(
