I have to say

After going through an EF5 tonado it held up well.

Not mine of course. Had a family friend send me a bunch of pictures from the Kansas tonado.

Its funny how even through such a rough time people can still have a sense of humor... Im referring to what was written on the back of the chevy with spray paint.

There were actually several pictures like that but on houses. One that was still standing had "EF5 tested... failed" and where one had been destroyed said "For Sale, new listing, New skylights, Newly remodled." and another one "For sale, price reduced"

Its actualy very healthy to have a sense of humor durring situations like that. If you mourn for all your loses, specialy for a long time. You will devolpe depression. And who doesnt like a good laugh?

it never hurts to put a positive spin on things...I was there after the Jerrel F-5 hit...people are very resiliant. We could see that thing from our High School and we watched it swerve and go the other way. Only an hour or so later we heard the news.

these pictures give you an idea, but the destruction is just amazing. I'm actually surprised that truck and house are still there.
