Hi Don, I am ok, my mom's place is 5-10 miles from the destruction. She is ok though. They are still assessing damage and looking for people that may be trapped in the heap of cars/metal, cars are squashed and piled on top of one another, buildings destroyed, power lines down. They are trying to fix powerlines now and look for any casualities or people hurt. It just did miss one of our hospitals, blew out a window or two in it. So far 200+ injured, a small town demolished, and one died but of natural causes.. I think a few are critical not sure. they are asking for donations to go to Red Cross and places for pets to stay and all, lots of the roads are closed for now and people cannot go to see yet what damage they have in their homes. Some folks sent in cell phone pictures of this thing, looked unbelievable, they say it was an F3-F4 closer to an F4 and that we have not had one anywhere near this area since 1979 which was actually about an hour and 1/2 from here then.
