I'm not really sure what I expected when we came up from the basement. I knew it was a tornado, I mean I saw it as we were running. Somehow though I was only pre paired to see damage from the regular windstorms we usually get. This picture dosnt do the damage justice...REALLY...it was tons worse and all you could smell was gas. We found out later that the BIG 100's of years old Maple Tree that had helped name our town was uprooted and had pulled a gas line as it was pulled out of the ground.
Its still seems like a dream until you look out the window or try to drive in this town. The first few days it was stressful to drive in this small town! Its stating to get more real though insurance adjusters call daily and you wonder how you will put it back together even though I know we will.
So far we have 10 thousand dollars in damages on the cars, 14 thousand on the semi we dont yet know about the trailor (whos had time to go look at it LOL) Hopefully we will know on the house by Monday but thoughts were in the 70 thousand dollar range. The biggest live and learn lesson through all this has been make sure your personal property ins is good. For example make sure you can replace your grill, playset and lawn chairs LOL. We dont have to bad of a plan but it could have been way better. Food for thought! ;)
