    I wanted to share my Toyota experience with our group. I have a Tundra now because this was my truck growing up. After 40 hrs of tornado related turmoil our little Toyota pickup delivered a highlight. (Our family is safe and recovering).

    Glad you are safe. Did this happen to your truck last Friday night? I'm also in KY and in my area things weren't too bad except for a few fallen trees, but I know things were rough elsewhere in the state.

    None at this point.
    Yeah...We cant have basements in South Texas.
    The water table is to high.
    While it can be done the cost is prohibitive!!!

    I'm sorry for the tragedy of the storm, but at least you have a great Toyota story from it! I hope the recovery you spoke of goes well for every one.
