We had some tornadoes to come through Friday evening which knocked the power out. Ours just came back on a short bit ago. I and my brothers, NecroWolf and Dr. Fraggle are ok. We didn't get any damage but there are many places nearby that did. our city Park got hit the hardest. Got to get some thing taken care of real fast but just wanted to let y'all know we survived and are doing great.
Not sure how fast we are going to recover, out town wasn't prepared for anything like this so most stores have lost most of their refrigerated and frozen food products because of no power. It is being repaired but in sections at a time. As for clean-up, that's going to be a while, I am guessing that the city may have a day set aside for when they will go around and remove the trees and branches. Some people like me and my dad has had no damage at all but there are others that have to repair at least one room in their house because of fallen trees and such. The power lines is the major priority right now. We almost ran out of water yesterday, there was no back-up system for the city's water pumps and all the water that was left was in the tank. I am guessing they did get power to them because the water is still running now 36 hrs later from the time I was told.
I know, but I was brought up to be polite and I couldn't think of any other way to make it sound polite. Just not much of a writer so my mind don't think in that general direction, lol.
I've been without power since Friday night. I'm going into the third day without power right now. I had to end up getting a hotel room just for some AC, running water, and internet.
Welcome back Pvt_Tracy. That was a nasty storm and I'm glad to hear you're safe.
It sure was, we actually had an F2 tornado run around erratically around here but it never actually touched the ground. It looks as if it only wanted the tree tops for the most part. After it went through the park here is stopped. This is the week for our 4th of July Carnival and a tree was uprooted and fell on one of the trailers there and did a lot of damage to it, but no one was hurt.
