Home now. Some damage. I'm a lot better off than others though. Some ripped up siding, a door, a window facing and window screens. That's all I saw in the dark.

Smeagol was glad to see me home.

Here's a grace of God thing though... I didn't find out till I got home and Debbie told me that the high school where I went for that new training this morning was the one that was hit and had parts of the building cave in. Don't know if ya'll heard about it.

But, anyway, I went there for training on some CADD software that I don't have. The computers in their CADD lab were not able to run the software so all us teachers who traveled over there for the training packed up and headed across town to my lab to do the training. About an hour after we left that building was when walls started falling in.

God is good.

No one was seriously injured there. Bruises and stuff was all according to what we've heard.

Glad to hear you're safe and that you didn't have as much damage as you could have.

Hullo everyone in the windy zone! Hope everyone is alright! WN, I know you said you have some damage, sorry about that. I have been skeered enough here in tall tree country on just 40 MPH winds. I don't want to see more!

Wow! Thank goodness you weren't there and thank goodness no one was injured!

We just got heavy rains, a bit of lightening and some gusts of wind...not too bad. We need rain!

Wneighbor, I am so glad that you weren't in that building! That's both scary and awe-inspiring at the same time, to know that God spared you from that. I'm glad Smeagol is safe and the damage to the house wasn't as bad as it could've been. I will keep praying for those in the area. Glad to hear you're okay.
