Storm Damage Anyone?

Did anyone else from Oklahoma to the east coast get any damage from the storms on Friday. We had an EF2 Tornado touch down. Did quite a bit of damge, but good thing no one around my area was hurt or killed. People are still without power though.

We lost power last night but only for a few seconds.

Living in Arkansas, we see so many storms it isn't funny. About three-four small to medium ones (yellow/orange/some red on radar) a week pass through here and while we only see a handful of funnels, we have not received any damage of the recent set of storms (the last fifteen-twenty). The lines form then go by. A lot of the really damaging ones spawn tornadoes south of us.

Going back prior to March, we had a couple close calls with wind and that did some damage but no damage as of recent. In terms of current damage, we've have a lot of erosion due to the constant bombardment with showers (five-six days per week) that has torn our yard apart. I'll be glad when the rain stops and the yard dries up. I've forgotten what sunshine looks like LOL.

One thing about living in California. We won't have much of anything but sun until October. Hope the damage wasn't too severe.

one thing about living in Québec... we always look at how bad it is to live in south USA and say "damn, how can we help..."

i even got some friends from Florida and California coming in "vacation" when it is storming over there, because they prefer feeling frisky here than being in the windy side of things...

Good Luck guys btw...
