God bless you all....i think a lot about you all,esp when bad weather comes, I'm praying for you all and your state, I know a wonderful so caring Christian lady from al....she has such a big heart, in hurricane threat of 2018, she purchased me a bus ticket to flee bad weather.....she paid almost 100 dollars for it, and she took another person with her to flee....she showed me Alabama folks have hearts bigger than texas....she showed what real caring was for others....she also impacts me to prAy for al, her homestate.....

God bless you all!! We've lived on the east coast of Florida for 62 years now. I sure know the feeling of cleaning up after these damned storms.. it sure brings out the best and worst in people. Mostly the best.. we help and share also with everyone in need because the damned Government ain't comin to help that's for sure..

Thanks for sharing. I can sympathize with what you went through. Looked like my yard after hurricane Ivan. We had 25 trees down on 3 acres, and went two weeks without power. Almost a month for phone line to be properly fixed. We got phone up sooner by reconnecting to pole ourselves. They claimed 90% of grid got damaged in our area. Only source of power was a car inverter and a car battery to charge phones. Luckily we had gas water so we didn't have to take cold showers. FEMA was awesome with ice and MREs as well.

It’s so nice how all of you are helping on another! Wow! That was a lot of work. It’s such beautiful country with all those trees. I’ve never been there but it looks beautiful

You guys were lucky, either the tornado was pretty weak or you got the edge but judging by the fact that so many trees survived and the houses survived and still look like houses indicates you were pretty darn lucky. Glad you made it through the storm. Enjoyed your video of the tornado approaching. Very interesting.

You need too video tape it all, All the yard work you need to fix it up..
