I just got home with a generator. No damage, but no power since 4pm.

Grabbed doggies and waited it out from a distance, but they just kept forming rotations, so I kept moving south and waited it out in Tipton.

Got pics of the one that hit south side of Kokomo but can’t post right now. Watched the funnel form and widen. Close enough to see debris flying.

How many watts?

I have an 8,000 one.

I’ve used it a few times in the last ten years.

I’m the 4th from the end of the line that supplies power down our rural road; so any problems upstream from me will affect me.

One of our trees once took out the last three folks downstream from me, but the power guys were out within a half hour to repair the line.

Longest I’ve been without power was about 4-5 hours.

I’ve an adapter cable that allows me to plug into a welding outlet in the barn and backfeed the house. (After making sure the house is disconnected from the mains!)

GOD sure performed some miracles yesterday!

None killed, and only minor injuries: INCREDIBLE!
