Thanks. Well, I made it through alright. We were without power and phone lines for about two weeks, though. Other than that, just a little damage to the roof, basically some lost shingles (we so need a different type of roof) and a hole over the spare bedroom. Of course, there were some outside damages as well, our carport ended up in our driveway, for example, and our satellite bit the dust, breaking the cable leading to my receiver so I'm watching DVDs if anything for a while. The carpeting suffered some moisture damage, since we had the option of open all windows or lose the home, but no mildew has been found yet. Our fireplace, however, is as good as gone. It was scary being inside when it was hitting. I was in front of one of the windows, towel-drying some of the rain water, and decided to just sit in front of it. One of the larger gusts of wind and rain was so hard I actually got knocked a little bit backwards. I'm surprised we made it, to be honest.

And you're right, it was pretty good...compared to what happened to some of the homes near to us. Our neighbors' home fell victim to a funnel cloud/twister, which is also what took the carport. But nobody was in that home when it went, luckily. (Yeah, we had some twisters, but nobody was hurt.) We lost nearly all of our trees in the area, some of which severely damaged homes. And I saw several items from another neighbor's yard (items that were loosely on the ground, they didn't think to pick up their yard) get blown roughly 15 acres and nearly crash into people's homes.

But yeah, like I said, we (my family) came out very lucky for this one. And the only reason we have phone service right now is because we have underground lines and all that had to be put up was one overhead that led to our box. I always have wanted DSL, but seeing how the trees fell and where the proposed DSL box would have went in our neighborhood, I'd still be without Internet if I didn't use dial-up. Strange...

And sure, I'll feel free to note. Good hearing from you again.
