Hey Carlene!

Kinda - I work just south of the main touchdown that destroyed the trailer park at Blue Heron Blvd. I was alread on my way home when the tornado started playing with the cars & trucks on I-95. I was glad to see it stayed east of 95. My folks live about 1/4 mile west of 95 on Blue Heron Blvd in one of those "over 55" retirement communities. They only got hit by the rain and a 4 hour power outage.

Thanks for thinking about me.

Hey Carlene!

I saw the footage on TV last night! What it did to those trucks at that warehouse was wild. Glad to hear you missed the mess! I have been mowing in the rain for the last two days , Dodging rain drops sort-a-speak and getting my shower for the week.

Bubba - sorry we didn't get a chance to hook up while you were down my way. Maybe next time.

We're off to dinner with the family now so I'll catch you later.

Hey Carlene!

I've only lived here for two years, but based on how the city council and the police operate in this town I don't think it has changed much.

You'll have to come and visit if you are in the area some time.

Hey Carlene!

He must have sold it to the Howlands. They own most of the town now. Let me know when you'll be in the area.

I live almost across the street from Howlands Lumber and pretty close to "Howlands Roundabout". It used to be known as 5 points where hwy 51 and four other roads joined. A year or so ago they spent 1.5 million to make it into a roundabout. All it did is tie up traffic use up the money they should have spent to pave the street in front of my house.

They call it Howlands Roundabout, but actually someone else owned the land and donated it to the city.

Hey Carlene!

Haven't had any tornados in the two years I've been here, but some places do flood when it rains a lot.
