Default im still alive!

went through a tornado here in fredericktown, Mo.
fun fun, total mayhem, no power for 5 days. every tree in sight was laying on a power line or vise versa. everyones house around me got damage, i made it with only a scratch on my truck and a big dent in my work van. my house made it untouched. were totally lucky no one in the area was killed. here are some damage pics from around my neighborhood.

everyone in town sends great thanks to all the linemen that showed up down here.
just in city limits, being a town of only about 4500 people, i heard they had over 300 new power poles to set.
they worked their a$$'s off down here and were all very thankful! we had power crews from all over missouri. the crew that worked on my street drove 5 hours to get here. about 320 miles. they rock!
