I am pleased to read that there is a new , stronger building now! Enjoy your weekend! We have had quite a lot of rain and flash floods - my son had to paddle to get into his house!

Hopefully the town has rebuilt and is back to normal. I've sat through tornado warnings before but after seeing these photos I am going to be more afraid if I hear there is one near by. Have a great Saturday ELizabeth. Hope you have a great holiday weekend.
