One canvass tempo garage was stripped clean only the pipes left the other one 20 feet away which was a tattered shelter scheduled to come down was not touched......NO CMPs were damaged......

Been surviving with the generator.....power was off for 7 days......

.....but we made it.......

Now have a life time of firewood to pick up

Bob, Grant, you must have "shat seven colors of shit" as we say in Dutch

Glad you came out alright, and you have a story to add this to your fireside stories
