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.

 

wow!! glad you're ok! looks like you've got quite a story to tell

 

funny story.. my best bud is a forman for a electric co up her in illinois he and his crew have been down there since it all started . i talked to him breafly and he said they are only gettin 3 hours a day to sleep and when they first got there they ran 3 days straight no sleep to get yall folks some power. people under estimate linemen they are better than the natinoial guard imo

 

Damn man, those are some serious trees that storm knocked down. Glad to hear that you made it out ok.

 

lineman are almost as tough as roughnecks...

glad you made it!

 

heard about all those storms hitting tornado alley over there...glad to hear everyone is ok

 

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!

 

there were some tornados last night up north that killed some people, so not everyone was so lucky.

 

wow...those pics remind me that the heat i have to deal with isnt much at all. i would not want to go thru any of that! glad ur okay.
