OT Thankful

[figgrower]

Just really glad my family is o.k. today. We had a tornado hit our property. Many fences are down. A portion of one launched into my daughter's room. Our trailer got squished by the neighbor's cherry tree. Part of a fence lodged in our apple tree. Debris is everywhere. Just spent hours disecting everything in my daughters room and cleaning up the mess. The kids are handling it like troopers. All the figs were in the garage for the winter, and were undamaged.

I am curious on something. In tis video end show 2 large up rooted trees. If stood back upright and soiled would they continue to grow ?

[figgrower]

Thank you. Yes, I was outside in the back yard. I heard it coming and saw debris flying everywhere. I ran in the house, and we all went to the garage until it had passed. pppldj, that is the correct link.

[DBJohnson]

Wow. Glad everyone is OK and there appear to be no injuries (according to the link). Things can be replaced or rebuilt....people can't. I grew up in Mississippi and Alabama so I am very familiar with tornados and what they can do. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help.

[WillsC]

Wow......glad you are ok.

[Hershell]

[Jamie0507]

Ohhh Geez I'm so sorry to hear this!! Can't even imagine being outside & hearing/seeing that twister you described coming my way! Thank God no one was injured, and that you are all doing okay considering what you just went through.. Yah kids can be amazingly resilient in times like this, so glad to hear yours are handling it so well! Please keep us posted, if you need anything let us know!

[newnandawg]

Glad to hear no one injured. Had similar incident years ago. It can be a real mess.

[Q*]

Glad everybody is okay. I get scared just thinking about it.....cant imagine how scary it was to live through it. Hope the clean up isnt going to be too bad

[figgrower]

Thank you. We will be cleaning up for a while. Tornadoes are not very common in our area, but it could have been a lot worse.

[BrooklynMatty]

Glad to hear Casey, that must have been very scary to live through.

[eboone]

Please let us know if we can help in any way. Thank God no one was harmed.

[Admin IT]

Thankful everyone is fine and nobody injured. Very scary happening, but again thankful nobody was injured.

[Harborseal]

How horrible. I'm glad your family is ok.

[Sarahkt]

Wow, really glad your family's okay.

[don_sanders]

Happy to hear that everyone and the figs are safe.

[figgrower]

Thank you all. We worked really hard last night and today to get the house in order again so that we could celebrate my daughter's nineteenth birthday with family today. Moving forward...
