Well I've had a stressful weekend. I had taken a long weekend to do some hunting and call making to catch up on some orders.
My wife has been taking care of her grandfather for several months now, he’s been in very poor health. (I’m very proud of her, she did the same with her other grandfather, and her mother) I got up late for my hunting …fortunately…because the phone rang early, her grandfather had passed away at about 6:30. We went to Manchester to be with her family and help all we could. Friday before we left a friend called and said a Tornado was spotted in our area…take cover. We got a little hail and the power went out. We left a little early, wanted to stop at the P.O. and on the way, as we got near my folks neighborhood we started to see damage., Major damage. Thought we should go by and make sure Mom and Dad were ok. Had a rough time making it there. Several detours and it looked like a bomb had gone off in my old stomping ground. Mom and Dad are ok, but had hunkered down in their bathroom listening to parts of neighbor’s houses pelt their house. Got in their house and couldn’t find them. They were walking around the neighborhood in the pouring rain trying to help their neighbors. (in their mid 70’s) Well I carried them home and went to the visitation. When we got home we still didn’t have power, got it back this afternoon. After the funeral we borrowed a generator and got mom and dad’s house juiced up, our power was back up too. Please keep my wife in your prayers as she goes through this time of mourning. Thank you all! Brad
These pics are from a few hundred yards down the street from Mom and Dads house. This is just a tiny sampling of what we have seen.
