OK - Just an update. Jodie and I are OK, we were on our boat on the river on Sunday 25th May. Jodie recieved a phonecall from her firechief - A tornado has touched down on the corner of our street and she is needed back. We left in a hurry - the 1hr trip only took us 30 minutes. We arrived to find hundreds of sick people blocking the road just so they could catch a glimpse of the destruction.
We finally managed to get in to our street because Jodie is an EMT/Firefighter. She left to go help others while I looked at the damage to our house.
I have placed pictures of the damage for you to look at. We are safe and so are our friends. Wood and plaster can be replaced.
Anyway - we had a few holes in the roof and all the windows on the back of the house are smashed.
We have been told we can not go back to the house till tuesday. we were allowed in today from 1pm till 6pm with photo ID only. Jo left this morning at 7am and I finally found her again and 8 pm. They had the search dogs out all day. Only 1 death a 2 yr old boy Nathaniel. (Nat) His house was picked up and dropped in the pond. His sister was found in the pond as well but the y managed to revive her and she is in hospital badly hurt, but expected to make it.
Anyway thats all Thanks for the well wishes and I will be back soon - MUAH to all
