 Previous Message last night, 100 mph wind gusts and tornadoes.. I will say, I LOVE storms and am an idiot and always look out there to see, but at one point we heard the wind change into a weird sound, and then 2 great big bangs like a truck ramming the door, and let me tell you..the lizard brain takes over and we both dove for cover and then straight to the basement! Generator kicked on last night and is STILL going, so almost 18 hours now..would be losing all our meat and have no power or internet! Filed my first claim ever in my life on anything.. The A/C UNIT was pulled away from house and thrown a foot. Side metal door all smashed/broken, barn gutter (way up high on tall barn) all whipped off and mangled. The 2 car garage door on outbuilding/workshop/garage pushed in and a little broken. The one car one is fine.. Big metal sign from front of barn ripped off, somewhere in our fields, I guess. and MANY trees down, some ripped out of the ground. Erik out there now trying to clear some of that. Rivian had severe structural damage..Blooming/Normal got hit kinda hard from what I am hearing.
