Pics of tornado damage by our house that hit FRI night

Three of my kids live within two miles of where this tornado hit Friday night.

It was a pretty frightful night. My daughters apt was three inches from getting flooded. We moved what we could to upstairs and on shelves.

Stayed in half bath with grandbaby with pillows and blankets over the baby.

My son has been working at this site where it hit to help out.

These pics were taken today (Sunday) Can't imagine what it looked like yesterday, they said there were over 300 (worldly)

people helping to clear roadways and driveways of trees and debris, bringing food out to the workers.

Some still do not have power today.

I don't know if there is no grass because of the tornado or if it was not there before it hit, but I have heard of tornadoes taking up the grass as well.

I passed five power trucks on my way out to take these pics

Okay...earthquakes aren't that bad!

Wow!! Pups I'm glad you all are okay. I'm sure a little shaken up though.

It was pretty scarey and now seeing the damage and how close it was to us was unsettling.

We are all ok, just alot of friends and family that have cleanup to do.

I saw families sitting on their carports with coolers all around them

with a huge tree smashed in the roof of their house, now power of course.

Very sad to see. People everywhere working. I just could not get to all the places and not be in the way only to gawk and take pics.

My son is taking off work tomorrow to help out some more.

There is no way to pics can capture how bad things really look.

Just driving up to it seeing trees all snapped off the tops was totally amazing.

The power a tornado has is unbelievable.

It's a bit unnerving to be watching the news and the weatherman is highlighting streets you live by and saying

A tornado is on the ground in your area, take shelter immediately.
