Just north of me about 10 miles the clean-up continues following that devastating tornado 2 days ago.
Cheryl had stepped out on the back patio with Griffin and she saw some lightening and other bright
flashes in the distance. What she didn't know at the time, it was the tornado hitting a truck stop on
IH-35 at Valley View full of people at the time.

That same storm killed 7 people in Valley View, then continued on an eastern path through several other towns in North Texas. National Weather Service is saying it was an EF-2 class tornado in Valley View. Then it hit Celina with an EF-3 (165 mph winds) where it destroyed several homes. Continued on several miles farther to our place, then on farther east. We were without power Saturday night, until it finally was restored late last night. Yesterday while we had no power we drove from west of Celina to several miles farther east of our place, following the path of destruction. Electric company crews and contractors were out in force clearing limbs from the power lines.

Fortunately our only damage was to numerous trees. Some big limbs fell across our driveway, so we could not get out - had to use the tractor FEL to move them. It destroyed the grandkids’ play fort, turned the chicken house upside down and moved it several feet. Somehow all the chickens survived! One ash tree on the west side of the house broke off near the ground and was deposited on the lawn on the east side of the house.

Had a crew of three tree surgeons here today all day, removing tree limbs and cleaning up the damage. All pretty much back to normal now, but we have some funny looking trees. Thank the Lord, we miraculously have no damage to house or outbuildings (except for the chicken house). Others were not so lucky.
