Well, we got nailed pretty good by the line of storms that came across the central plains and into the the east coast. A tornado touched down about 1/2 mile from my house and destroyed a neighborhood. It made a path across town, and the entire northwest side of town is shut down. No power and only residence are allowed in. Curfew put in place from 9pm-6am. It's a mess. Tornado that went through our area was rated at an EF3 with a width of 1 mile at the widest point and a path of 65 miles long.

I'll take a few more tomorrow, if I can back in the neighborhood.
Sanford and Dunn, a couple towns about 45 miles north, were hit pretty hard as well. The Lowes in Sanford was completely demolished.
Anyways, I would really appreciate it if you all could keep the folks affected by the storms in your thoughts and prayers. They could really use it.
