Son of a BI*CH!!!!! I'd Swear Mother Nature Has It Out For Me ........

11:30 and finally a chance to sit down! Thanks to Sonic Drive In for staying open late and doing the cooking tonight ... I couldn't muster it.

Snapped a few more pics this afternoon while the 8-man clean up crew was here, half of them bearing chain saws. After its workout today, the camera batteries were depleted by the time the tree was a skeleton and off the building and storage trailer.

It started raining a little again after the crew left. After we ate, Billy and I went back out to the shop tonight. We moved everything from his side to minimize further damage, and he drilled some self-tappers into what's left of the roof sheeting to button it up a little bit in the meantime.

One of the guys told me earlier he heard it was a F2 tornado and a couple others mentioned 90 mph winds. Either way, it sure did a number on my shop.

And I stretch a bit and see 19 messages flashing on my machine ............. :-D Sorry, but I'll have to get back to ya'll tomorrow. It's been absolutely one helluva night and day, my 3 1/2 hours of sleep has dun wore off [Tennessee accent there lol], I'm beat and heading for the shower.

Thanks for keeping us in your thoughts guys and gals! Hopefully it won't be too long before everything's repaired and back to normal around here.
