We had one hit our town in 2011 and it was devastating but not to this extent. Good friends of ours had their house severely damaged but were able to get back into it about a year after the storm. They were lucky and they know it. The scary thing about these kinds of storms is the sheer randomness of them. I am not sure what I would do if I were involved in something of that magnitude.barbara l. halehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15251598050638810751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831964660986535542.post-9461679576248370832013-05-23T13:59:57.434-04:002013-05-23T13:59:57.434-04:00Thank you for your thoughts on this, Tina.
