WOW ! We had 3 Tornado's within 10 miles to the south,East, and North of us touch down last evening. Sirens were going off everywhere and it was indeed a mother nature fury !
I don't think the bottom of the t.v screen could keep up with the warnings that were coming in one after another.

Fenton seemed to be hit the hardest with apparently 2 tornado's touching down there.(this is about 8 miles to the south of us) Snowmutt's parents live in Fenton and I know we have a member or two that also live in Fenton. After the storms passed through and the all clear was given we tried to call Rick's parents but we didn't get an answer so we headed out to see if they were ok. They were not home and there house was ok (thankfully) but you could not get anywhere near the downtown Fenton area as apparently it was hit very hard.
8FEVR how are you doing ? and Z-Rider ? I hope things are ok where you two are.


As of this a.m I have not heard of any major injury's thankfully.

Hey snow4, do you know if the your funeral homes survived ok? You have two, Sharp and McConnell. At one point my wife and I almost purchased the McConnell Funeral Home when it was called, "Dodds-Domoais-Pitts" (sorry something not spelled right) but Drieghton beat us to it.

Glad to hear you are ok.

Richard[/b]Not to my knowledge Richard....I have not heard anything about funeral homes being damaged however the cemetary in Fenton was damaged heavily from our local news channel reports. Fenton is a mess no doubt about it..........also the township of Hadley was hit hard too.
