yeah we are ok. Got a bit hair raising a little while ago, we all ended up in the bathroom with no windows. Chairs on back porch and rocker on front porch were blown off, a very heavy hand made bench about 80+ lb was blown over, one of the 10x10 dog runs, up ended, Thankfully I had all the puppies inside the house : )
A few tree branches down as far as I know, but nothing major. I am on satelite internet so with storms, I lose reception. I think the worst is over now. We have sunshine again. Isn't is amazing how something quite far away can cause this spin off tornados two states away!

The rain bands from the darned thing extend basically from Florida to Maine. It's pretty awsome!

I'm glad to hear it's calmed down a little bit for ya. I'm a nervous wreck when bad storms are around. I've always said that whenever we build a house, it's gonna have a storm shelter of some kind inside it, whether in the basement or a concrete storm room above ground.

I'm glad you and yours are safe.... I hope it's over for you now.

I'm depressed not only from watching the footage, but by listening to FReepers argue with each other about every aspect of it. I figure I could begin arguing right along with them, or I could go for a ride in the woods and thank my lucky stars. I'm choosing the latter.

That happened to me once. I was so scared. I stayed in a mobile home too long and when I decide to get out I couldn't. I actually saw what a house "breathing" meant. The noise was so loud and I felt like I couldn't breath.
