[Al Jones]

Power went out last night about 10 and came on about 3:30 this
afternoon.  I think there were a lot of straightline winds and maybe
small tornados.  You will see places with little/no damage and then
you come across BIG trees down. A friend brought his farm service
truck to my parents so they could use his welder to keep the freezers
cold.  No damage to the house or my little shop and the chickens,
geese and cats are all ok.  Sun is out and the weather is breezy but
beautiful, feels like fall!
