That's nasty. Is that a chicken coop upside-down? Glad y'all are ok.

Yes, yes it is. It has since been turned right side out. But will soon be inside out or whatever. That’s the second time it’s rolled. It didn’t survive well this time. And Justin hasn’t shared these yet:

This branch also narrowly missed our propane tank (one of my coworkers pointed that out when I showed them this photo). That surely would have woken up the county if the weather already hadn’t

Oliver’s little play house thankfully faired okay but it now has a nice lovely decoration that fell more towards its backside/against our house.

Then there is the back side of our house where 1 of the 2 trees is now basically half a tree. Thankfully, it also did not do any damage (that we can see at this time). We are still without power and have heard it could take up to 48 hours to return or 4-6 days. So in the meantime, we are getting dad’s generators from mom and really camp it up this weekend either at home or the lake as originally planned. Wait to see…

Wind was from all directions, very strange.

That is weird. Were ya'll in the eye of a tornado?

No... but they were in the neighborhood.

NWS survey says eight tornadoes in KMAland Thursday

(Valley) -- National Weather Service officials have pinpointed tornadic activity spawned by severe storms last Thursday morning.

The Viking Lake one is about 7 miles from my house. That is where we often go camping.

We actually had a reservation to go camping there last Thursday night but they cancelled it on us because they didn't have power and you couldn't get back to the campground because of trees. We did go Friday-Sunday, they got the campground cleaned up more or less Friday, it was like I was living in an episode of Red Green with chainsaws just going off at random in the background as I was setting up lol.





I am sure it screwed up my learn table but the truck pulled the camper great. Everything pictured I hauled over in one load.

And with all the storms we have had firewood wasn't in short supply, had a great fire going the whole time were there lol.



It was weird, you could see the tornado track in the tree damage along the main road across the ridge of the park, it went down the bank beside the beach and across the lake. We were out in the canoe and went by there and I could see a bunch of trees that were actually in the lake... and we saw a beaver taking advantage of his good fortune which was cool.
