Here is the story he pm'd to me:
They're saying now that it was just t/storm w/heavy winds. And torrential rain. And fist sized hail. Wind got up to 90-100 mph from 5-10 mph in about 3 minutes. I got home from work about six and it was sunny and hot, and was just taking my shoes off when I heard the howling. I looked outside and couldn't see my front yard, just leaves and garbage and rain going sideways. All in all I got it pretty easy compared to a lot of people in my town. Worked all day yesterday clearing debris and shit but other than a lot of shop-vac duty I'm basically back to normal.
And just in case you didn't really give enough of a shit to have to read all of this I brought pictures.
That was the view out my front door. There is actually a street out there somewhere. Luckily that water provided me with a free indoor pool in my basement. To bad I didn't know it was coming.
And thats the worst of what I got. It didn't go through the roof though, so I'm better off than a lot of folks.
Like these people who live 5 or 6 blocks away. Good thing too because I got a thousand dollar deductable and about $50 in the bank.
Anyways, no big deal really. I didn't want to derail the res-comics thread with my less than impressive tale so I pm'd you about it. And the moral of this story.....fuck arbor day!!
Thanks, Troy. Sorry for asking in the comics reviews DP!
