My wife got a call from her mother about 4:30 yesterday morning.
She told us that my sister in law and her family had just had a tornado hit their house and destroyed it. They made it to the basement safely but the exterior wall fell on them and my sister in law needed 5 staples on her head. Her husband has 5 stitches on his head plus a broken finger. One of the daughters broke her foot. All in all their injuries could have been a lot more serious.
I thought I would share a few photos of the damage. The weather bureau says it was an EF3 storm with winds of 150 mph. They had one got the almost the same area last April that was an EF5.

So as not to take up a lot of space I put the rest in spoiler mode.

I left the site and came back and only 2 of the spoilers work and the 2 that I posted without the spoiler are gone. I tired putting a little more space between the "spoiler" tags in front and behind the the link and it didn't help. I am puzzled.

Odd, I can see all but two of them now. These pictures remind me of sights I saw all the time in Iraq.

I am thankful your family is all intact. The capriciousness of tornadoes never ceases to amaze me. They can destroy the most powerful of things and leave some of the most delicate intact. Drive straw into a tree trunk but carry a baby many miles through the air and set him safely on the ground. Your relatives all experienced minor injuries, but some of their figurines were hardly scratched.

It's always humbling to realize just how weak and helpless those shells we trust in really are against the awesome forces of nature.

I would never wish this kind of experience on anyone. I just hope that instead of driving a wedge between them, it actually brings them closer to each other in the end.

Thanks for sharing their story with us.

Zero2Cool (22h) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.
beast (23h) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot
beast (23h) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : If we add Isaiah Simmons, book your Super Bowl tickets
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Colts 1st round TE Tyler Warren also got prank called, was that Jax Ulbrich as well?
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Jax Ulbrich, Jeff Ulbrich’s son, released an apology for his role in the Shedeur Sanders prank call.
Martha Careful (27-Apr) : apparently he did not participate in practice or play on the east west shrine game nor the NFL combine. The kid was a mediocre spoiled brat
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Yeah that one that was a super wounded duck that Sanders supporters are highlighting to prove a point
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Shough is the guy who missed guys at combine isn't he?
