Here is the link to the morning paper.

It went by hitting the subdivisions along the southern edge of Ft Bragg - Lagrange, Summerhill, Cottonade, then over to Bonnie Doone, Eurika Springs and then over to Ramsey St.

The wife was dropping off one of the kids friends in King’s Grant when it hit. They were about 1/4 mile - maybe from the tornado and a tree was knocked over in the yard as they were pulling out of the driveway. They turned south on Ramsey and didn’t know what a close call they had until we started listening to the scanner.

We never lost power but it blinked a few times. Time Warner went out though as soon as the tornado hit. Lost phone, cable and internet until just a bit ago.

I just now got off the phone with my son. He and wife did well; they have power now. He was telling me about the amazing damage the tornados did, though. I’ve seen the destructive nature of these storms all my life. It never ceases to instill a sense of awe.
