MFB, i'm sorry that this happened to you, but I am tickled to see you haven't loss your sense of humor! You'll need it. I'm glad to hear no one lost their life in your community.
I've been indirectly touched by two tornadoes. The place where I work was leveled, and then a few years later one of my best friend's homes was heavily damaged. What stands out the most to me is how people come together during a tragedy like that. When my friend's home was hit, we loaded up the chainsaws, cooked a big breakfast (they have six kids) and headed over there. The first thing that they said when we got there was "I have a little problem, my chew is in the truck!" The truck was under a MASSIVE tree. So, we started there. My friend was so dazed when her home was hit, she started mopping the floor. I had to take her by the shoulders, shake her a bit, and tell her that she couldn't stay in her house. It had no roof. Once all the repairs were made, their home was more beautiful than it was before.
I hate that this has happened to you, and I thank God that you and your family are okay. I pray there is a "new beginning" lurking around the corner for you. If you think of any small way that we can help, please let us know.
