Gary's smart enough to get underground.
Hope his house is still standing. _________________ Glenn

I'm 8 miles north of all that crap. I'm guessing it missed Gary by a few miles. _________________ 2017 Street Comp Champion - Thunder Valley Raceway Park - Noble, OK

Is it in his actual area? |
Mapquest shows Gary's place about 18 miles E.S.E of the main hit in Moore, Oklahoma. |

spoke with Gary yesterday and today, both before the tornado that came through his area and after....
he's OK - some damage to the house and truck and he's without electricity, but OK...
wish we could say the same for everyone else in the path of the tornadoes yesterday and today.... _________________ póg mo thóin

Sadly there was an elementry school that took a direct hit. Two dozen feared dead, but no confirmed numbers yet.

Had anyone heard from Jerry T? I have been to his place and he is nearer to Moore but in OKC...
Gary texted me that a tornado came across his property yesterday, but today's was further to the North. He is still without power. _________________ Feel My Pain l Sage Ad World |

He's been sending me pics of the damage. Soon as he gets power, he'll post them up. I don't wanna take away his thunder. He was quite a ways away from the path and still had uprooted tees and some serious damage. |

With a tornado of this size, the damage can be over a mile away, and random. _________________ Немає виправдання для війни! Я з Україною.

and the debris can travel even further - people in Springfield, MO were getting debris from the Joplin tornado in 2011; that's 65 miles away... _________________ póg mo thóin
