Damage all over the Ozarks it seems. Republic, Nixa, Springfield,
Joplin, Norwood, etc. etc. etc.
Much damage in Pomona I hear, people were trapped in the
basement of a house for awhile. I hope everyone from this Forum
is safe! We went under a tornado warning for about an hour,
here I didn't see the straight lines that the other places got. I
just have a few ice storm leftover branches down. No biggie.
the boys were let out of school early after spending an hour in the hallway during the tornado warning. a lot of down trees, missing shingles etc. a few barns and other buildings blown down. everybody here was safe and sound.
I think God we are OK. Storm passed about 1-1/2 miles north of us from west to east. More than 15 families with homes damaged or completely destroyed. Thank to Ozark Radio Network for photos.
Prayers for all. Here in the central section we had severe thunderstorms with very high winds, lightening, thunder and then heavy rains. Just a few tree limbs down, things blown around, high water around the wet weather creeks and over some parts of our roads. We were indeed lucky here.
I've been watching the news on your KY3 station. My heart goes out to the family and friends of the man who died in Dallas County. Glad to hear that everyone else survived and have such good attitudes about the storm and damage. "Can't be helped, just get to work putting things back together."
Have gotten calls from the family down south, sounds like Farmington and Fredericktown got hit hard today. Roofs torn off, barns down, trees down.
power out. Fred HS took a hard hit, BIL's house wrecked, trees on Mom and MIL's trucks.
More proof (according to my beliefs) that we are in the last days!
Is everyone OK? Report in and let us know.
We had two HUGE HUGE trees blow over - both oak trees, ripped them right off of their roots. Lucky they were in the woods and not near our house.
I don't buy that bible junk. It's just wild midwest weater. Been happening since *forever*.
I went down and checked on my land today...I had 50 acres with tons of oaks and pines...now about 1,000 to 1,500 are down. Every big tree was pushed over. It has totally ruined my land for a generation. I am hoping to find a logger to come in but it seems almost everyone has the same problem.
