TrustNoOneKS (OP) User ID: 34054856 United States 04/03/2015 03:54 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | That was actually the area where the swirling debris was spotted. I haven't heard of any major damage to that area though, but I would bet that there are limbs down and power issues. Thanks for that...worried.hope all is well for you too. Any updated would be much appreciated. I wouldn't be too concerned. I haven't heard of any major injuries or anything like that. All is okay for us here. The power flickered, but we are lucky to still have it. I Want To Believe |
