I thought I would share a couple of pics with anyone interested of tornado damage done to my residence back on 2/10/09. This was in Springfield Missouri.
My Wife, Mother and I were home when the F-1 Tornado hit and tore the roof from our side of the Duplex we lived in. My Brinkman Smoker all 175 lbs of it....came through the sliding glass back door and ended up in my living room floor about two feet from where I was standing at the time it hit. 10:50 P.M.
We came came back in the following morning and found the inside of the house in almost pristine shape other than a little water spotting on the ceiling...We were inside for about ten minutes looking around and had just walked back outside when we heard a crash..turned around and opened the door to find this....nearly all the drywall ceilings in all the rooms came down at once.
I ended up tearing a ligiment in my left knee a couple of days later while trying to salvage what we could from the house..but otherwise no one was injured. There was no warning sirens or even notification by local Television stations...as it came in so fast and developed on the leading edge of a squall line. Luckily no one was hurt.
Happy to be back online now....
