Well the tornado got us ---

Yep, a tornado hit us on Saturday morning around 10 AM and did extensive damage to our cabin over in Arkansas.  It put a tree down on one corner of the place and blew out one of my skylights.  I reckon we got off lucky, our next door neighbors place took a direct hit and was totaly destroyed.  The hole in the roof has been covered with a tarp, so I guess that is all we can do for it for the next few weeks, then we will be going up for a week or so to fix what we can before winter sets in.  Such is life, at least none of our folks got hurt, although there were 2 people drowned upriver from us and another 2 people are still missing.  The river flooded and floated off a bunch of cabins  and camper trailors.  We built our place on high ground so didn't have to worry about the flood.
