No, not good luck. It might be usable, but it is really wet inside. Tree might have made a hole...

Well crap, I sure hope all our luck here in mn changes.

Jay keep us posted about Lynn, glad to hear she came home.....

Dave, sorry to hear about the camper. Sure hope the truck is ok. Definitely not your month, uuggghhhhh

Mike that tree that was down in Osceola broke about 6-7 feet above the ground and I would say the base was a good 2 1/2- 3 ft across.....Atleast it was out of the road on the way home, lol....

It looks like it is gonna be a great day out there! Hope everyone has a great day!

Well I am off to work on the street rod for a little while and then mow lawn. After the wifey gets off work this afternoon we are hopping in the street rod and headed up to Palisade to visit my aunt and uncle for the rest of the weekend.

Wow, gonna get the tree off the camper later here. See what happened to it. No power for a long time it sounds like. This is the worst storm damage I've seen in a loooooong time. This whole area is bad...

Morning guys and welcome to the weekend!

I'll keep Lynn in my prayers, Jay!

Dave, sorry to hear about the hail and storm damage. My parents are currently getting their hail damage repaired on both the van and the farm truck. Both 08's. Hail isn't fun!

We didn't get any last night, but about 20 miles from us they had 4.25" hail!!!! That would be horrific! Glad to hear everyone made it through the storm safely!
