Storm Damage

Luckily the RW family is alright and nobody was hurt from the storms that came through even though we've got our share of damage done.

As for my home, luckily I didn't have the leisure of having a tornado come through my backyard, let alone my area, but the wind gusts seemed to do much of the work for it.

The Damage Tally On My Property
- Most of the trees are knocked over or heavily damaged.
- When one of the trees snapped a branch came flying into the side of the house as well as a piece of the tree coming through the kitchen window.
- The roof has lost most of it's shingles.
- The wooden fence to the west of my home was crushed by a falling branch.

The Damage Tally At The Farm
- Significant damage to the majority of the roof of the home. Parts of roof completely gone.
- All windows of the house are either cracked or broken.
- Tree fell into the porch and did damage to the front of the home.
- We lost 2 horses and one of the barns is completely gone.
- There is significant water damage in the house from the missing roof.
- Most of the trees are gone or damaged.
- Our fence sign was twisted and the garage door was bent outward which leads me to believe that there was rotational wind involved.

Let the battle with insurance begin.

sorry to hear that buddy. I have family that lives in Fenton where one of the tornadoes went through. My prayers are with you all.
