Yeah, we can relate to that. My wife and I left our home in Ballwin (St.Louis)for a month long trip to the West Coast. A massive tornado hit St. Louis on Good Friday. Another came through and hit our home. Our home has been hit twice this year already. Obviously, we have had to cut our trip short and are on on way home now. Tonight, we are in Holbrook Arizona. Will get on the road early tomorrow and hopefully, we will get home late Sunday night and assess the damage.:(

80 mph winds
 
Sorry o here your house got hit. I hope the dammage is light. Today I was on the road for 1and a half hrs. Some places look like a war zone. A big tree in my sisters front yard crashed into the front of her house and ripped up the phone and electric line. My mother had part of her roof riped off. My brother in law is now using his generator for electric. That camping gear/survival skills come in handy. Got excited when I drove by the State Park as it is open now. Starting to see RVs traveling.

Tom and Judy,

Godspeed, but please drive carefully in your haste to get home. Hopefully the damage to your home is minor.

Jim
