How you guys holding up after the storm yesturday. I got just the south end of it (about 5 minutes of hail and a little rain but no wind) Dowagiac, Marcellous got nailed pretty hard. Lots of trees down, roofs ripped off and buildings destroyed. Lots of hail in some area's also. Friend of mine owns a camping trailer sales up around South Haven and all but one of his trailers got destoryed. They say there was no tornado just straight line winds but man there is damage. My buddy says that it was weird, the destuction pretty much started at his dealership and for two miles past it there isn't a power pole standing.

April showers bring May flowers :p

Or in my case, May weeds. And not the smokeable kind described in another thread!

Funny how I have a heck of a time getting desirable yard vegetation to grow, but the weeds seem to flourish. Rain, no rain, sun, no sun, it doesn't matter to them!

The camper sales place looked like a junk yard on Channel 17 & 8. Even Irrigation equipment got blown over, That stuff has a wide base and nothing for the wind to get hold of, yet it was laying every which way.
