Hi Everyone,
Thank you for your kind words. We managed to make it through the storm without any real damage, but I can't say the same for everyone in the area. Yesterday I went out and tracked the path of the tornado, and it looks as though it came down a few miles from our plant, and then followed a 19 mile path that led straight over my house. According to reports, when the tornado reached the Mississippi river (about 3/4 of a mile from my house) it lifted off the ground, and then set back down 4 blocks from me.
Unfortunately, several of my friends had pretty severe damage to their houses, including one that had their house pretty much demolished. Thankfully they were able to get through it without any bodily injury. Houses can be replaced, but lives cannot!
The most amazing thing about this tornado, is that not one person was killed. With all of the destruction, it is amazing to know that everyone made it out alive.
Thanks again,
Jason
