Well gang, ole Mother Nature dealt my wife and me a blow night before last.
A tornado hit our house and destroyed it.
Her the dog and I rode it out and are fine, unhurt.
Damaged the top on the 33 Pontiac, the 52 I've been building for a customer. Both are reparable.
It totaled my 110 year old farm house but, the shop is OK and only sustained minor damage.
The other side of the house is worse, don't know why I don't have a pic of It.

WOW !!!! So sorry for your loss OI :eek:.... Glad to hear everyone
is ok. Where do you go from here? Man can't imagine having to deal
with something like that..wish I could lend a hand :(
 
Wow so sorry to hear and see this. As an owner of a 104 year old house here in Fla. I would be devastated if I lost it. My house made it through the eye of Irma without losing a shingle but by time it hit here it was only about 80mph winds. Tornadoes can also happen here too. It is amazing and awful to see how this thing skipped over the garage just to hit the home instead. I am glad you are ok and hope that you can rebuild.
 
:eek: :eek: :eek:
I am glad that no one was hurt. I can't even begin to imagine that happening.
Strength to you and your family during the clean up and rebuilding.

Wow! that tornado sure raised heck with your place. Probably cheaper to put up a new house. Sure glad no one was hurt.
 
WOW Iron... that is SO hard to believe!!! I'm afraid of that my own self! I've seen a few twisters come out of the sky & know what that looks like & when I see that type of formation it scares me to death! Glad your & yours weren't hurt! SOOOO sorry!!!

Wow, that drone shot really shows the damage!!
Crazy!!

NO KIDDING!!! :eek::eek::eek:

So glad to hear you and the family are ok. I know first hand how scary tornadoes can be. We did not have the loss you did, but our experience with a twister was still $12000. Damage I hope you can get your lives back to normal as soon as possible.
 
So sorry to hear this OI. I can't imagine that much damage and your guys are all safe! Must have been a few scary moments. Good luck getting things back to some semblance of normal.
 
I'm terribly sorry for your damages, but I'm glad everyone made it out alive.

Tornadoes are my worst fear. I live in the city... the same city known for this country's deadliest tornado back in 1912... anyhow, history repeats itself and the sight of a funnel cloud strikes fear in my heart, never mind the s*** in my pants.

My very best to you, OI. I sincerely hope you recover from this disaster, no worse for wear...
