    I was in South Bend, IN so I suvived them just fine. Seriously though I hope everyone is doing ok. I talked to a few buddies back home who did not have any power, one of them even getting off work in North County Thursday because they did not have any power at his shop. Well have fun cleaning up, and watch out for the heat.

    I survived ok. Nothing major in Park Hills.

    I was at the Cards game when the storm hit though, it was crazy. In a matter of 10 minutes I couldn't see the buildings outside of the stadium. Then all hell broke loose.

    Why is it the Yamaha rider got his power back first? Could it be God likes me? No, I guess I'm just lucky and good looking.

    Another storm today. A few tornados hit and we lost power at the shop, but home has electric. We are now in a state of emergency due to our water facility burning down. No one in Granite has water and when it is returned, we are gonna be under a boil order til God knows when. Thank heavens for well water. It's not so good to drink, but a shower is a wonderful thing.
    Hope everyone is surviving alright. I know I am about tired of the storms.
    Just a heads up on what I heard from a friend...gas is gonna go fast when the stations get up and running, and when they are out of fuel, they are gonna be out for a while because of some refineries being down. So everyone needs to conserve what they can.
    Have a good night all!

    Where I live you cant go 10 feet without seeing a tree down or a sign bent. We had a couple tornados here, but nothing terrible. Power was out for a day or so and a tree in my backyard snapped, but other then that im alive

    PS: I dont know about you guys, but I was outside watching the whole thing lol.. I saw 3-4 trees snap and one crushed my friends fence and another blocked the road.

    Me and my friend were working on his bike in the heat and a huge breeze of cold air came.

    Wow did that felt nice
