My mom is in the closet bracing her self.. the tornado is headed her way....

 

[exploder3211]

Something just fell on my deck.... Big loud thud

 

[oxydolfan1]

Calmly take all necessary precautions and get yourself to the safest place within the confines of your home.

Once there, do not allow yourself to be overcome by a spirit of fear.

 

[oxydolfan1]

After the storms have dissipated, please just give us a shout here and let us know you are all okay.

Thanks!

10-4... Our deck chairs just blew off the porch... I will be here, don;t worry... My mom is the one who i am worried about

 

[exploder3211]

Moms ok... She said it shook the house and sounded like a loud train.. a few pictures fell off the wall and it took off with the cover for the hot tub and the plastic deck chairs she had..But for the most part the house appears ok...

 

[oxydolfan1]

Wonderful! Glad you all came through (relatively) unscathed.

Good night...

 

[exploder3211]

I still have the storms rollin through but mom made it ok

Something just fell outside and made a huge noise

 

[exploder3211]

Ok.. The neighbors just lost there Toyota... There's a tree on top of it... Just moved the mighty explorer away and put it over in the neghibors drive across the street

 

[exploder3211]

Our house is fine! We have no deck furniture or a trash can and there are limbs every place and ontop of grams explorer..

But there will be no sleep here either.. We have a pyro thing going on in the midst of this storm...

What idiots... Its poruing rain and there lighting fire works
