You never thought it'd happen to you

Went to bed Tuesday night with the weatherman saying, small thunderstorm coming our way but dying down, probably going to just be a few sprinkles. Woke up to destroyed homes and 60k+ people out of power. We got our power back 36 hours later, My work is still out of power this will be my 2nd day off, many homes destroyed, many still without power (some may be as many as 5 days). We were one of the lucky ones with no damage (we cut nearly all the trees down in our yard 2 years ago as one ripped up out of the ground and started leaning towards a house from a storm).

On a positive note my truck survived the storm, spent its first night out of the garage since I bought it 2 months ago, just happened to be the night an F2 tornado went through!

Sorry for all the devastation. I highly respect tornados. I've lived thru 2, have seen destruction unbelievable and have lost many close family friends. One of our neighbors lost all 7 their family members. Such tragedy. Just can't take life for granted. Makes one value life differently. Grateful you & yours are OK, Indy.

Glad your ok, the one that went through adams last year skipped right over my dads house he got real lucky too.

Thanks every one, haven't heard of any related deaths so that is very good! We energies is still cruising around fixing powerlines, still a lot of them down. Roads look like tunnels with brush piled up down the sides of them. No chainsaw so no money making for me. Wasn't so bad to have 2 days off, haven't had a day off since september other than weekends and holidays.Hopefully I'll be back to work tomorrow though, sucks not getting paid!

If you didn't have a Yamaha it wouldn't be in the shop getting fixed! LOL just kidding. Hopefully kens didn't take too big of a hit as they have A LOT of inventory. According to We energies map my work is still out of power. Kind of a bummer going on 3 days with no pay.

It is an AC and it got a little too hot last March...LOL my prior Yamaha's only had issues with the spindles.

I live out by Huckleberry Acres and they got destroyed. Figure 80% of the campers were totalled and most of the trees went down. We had lost power for about 30 hours so no water either. Glad to hear you made it out alright. I drive through Hortonville everyday on my way to work and they got blasted, on 15 from New London to Hortonville you can see right where the tornado went.

Yup right on highway 15 by manley rd where the railroad tracks cross, that horse farm lost everything, all 9 horses died, the tornado continued along the railroad tracks basically and then down 15/OO. I work off of OO (northland/15) we didn't get power back until yesterday at 630 am it was out for about 54 hours.
