Tornado briefly hit us...

Got lucky boys. House is fine but no power probably til next week. Lost a tall pine on the corner of my property and it fell on a couple lines while blocking the road. Wouldn't matter if we cleared it though because just one house down, on the same side of the street, a white oak blew over and blocked that part of the road.



A lady's car is underneath it but miraculously wasn't crushed. She just bought it too.

Me and the family are at my mom's apt enjoying the AC and a hot meal. I gotta generator keeping the freezer and fridge food until power comes back.

This happened on such a busy week - school is wrapping up and Memorial Day weekend plans are nigh. Managed to rescue a bird that was soaked and exhausted on the ground.

Found another one that wasn't so lucky...


Told my 4 year old he made it through his first tornado, then realized it's my first too. Was stuck at work hunkered down with crying kiddos so I wasn't able to be home and help - luckily I gotta strong woman holdin it down. Took me 3 tries to make it to my driveway as all my usual routes were blocked by downed trees.

Sequoia didn't come out unscathed:


Cracked the corner of the windshield when the basketball goal fell on it. Don't think the paint got scratched.

Anyway, can't imagine how ppl in Tornado Alley feel with their massive amounts of destruction. This little bit of action is enough for me. I'll stick to hurricanes.

 

Dang man glad you guys are ok.

hope the power gets restored sooner than they’re guesstimating.

crazy

 

Glad you and your family are doing okay neighbor!
Good luck on the glass repair!

 

Thanks yall. Just glad my family is ok.

This was taken not far from us

 

HOLY SCHNIKES!

When did this happen?

Just a few miles south of you in Richmond; We've seen nothing.

Glad you and the fam are safe!

 

Yikes! Glad everyone came out ok!

 

This afternoon pretty much right as we were getting the kiddos on the bus

 

Yikes,

Glad everyone's OK...

Big storms SUCK !!!!

 

I just read about the tornado and immediately thought of you. Glad you made it through okay. I heard a couple of construction workers weren't so lucky.

 

Whew!!! Thank the Lord everyone is safe! Hurricane Katrina instilled a deep hatred of pine trees for this exact reason. And make sure you have your chain saw sharpened!

 

Wow. I'm glad you were not hurt and the house is ok

 

2 died and 9 others injured. We have houses being built all around here.

 

I can't like that. I'm glad you and the family are okay.

 

Charles, glad to hear your family is okay.

 

Thank yall for your well wishes. We put the toddler up at my mom's for the night. Me and the ol lady are gonna sweat it out tonight

 

Dang, Cypress heard nothing, too.
Sorry to see that it did touch down, heard it was raining cats and dogs crazy up north but didn't think it was this bad....
Be safe brother.

 

Glad you’re ok!

we got a direct category 3 165mph tornado hit in January this year

we’re on our 3rd adjuster. First one took his own life from depression and the second one just left the company Monday.

we’re still in temporary housing and the insurance company hasn’t paid 1 penny towards my tools or lawn equipment that we’re damaged

I’m not happy to say the least

 

Damn! Glad you and the family are ok.

 

Ok. That’s is terrifying.

 

Glad all are well.

We left our place in Conroe ~2pm...and got the warning on our phones by the time we hit Houston.

Was this south of the lake?

 

Glad everyone is alright. Cut the Cedar in long pieces and have someone come and buy it from you?? Just a thought???

 

Wow bud I'm sorry for your troubles. Is your insurance waiting on the adjuster to decide on a valuation?

 

East.

 

If it was cedar, yes. It's craptastic pine and you don't even wanna use it for firewood cause it'll gum up your chimney lol

 

Yup you sure don’t want to use it for firewood,, but it might be worth something????? And I was in the dsrk looking,,,, thought it was cedar. Sorry.

 

They sub out all the property and consumables claims tons third party who runs it through software. After that it’s depreciated and a depreciated value claim total is presented.

If you buy something that’s on the list and submit a receipt for replacement value you can be eligible to receive reimbursement for the difference between full value and the depreciation amount you received.

The problem lies in the fact that you might turn in 200 items,and the funds received initially will buy 2 items.

Im not down with being punished financially for a natural disaster,having to replace items that were already paid for

It’s a circus
