Thanks for all the repsonses guys, the crew of Saltycajun always comes through! We have had a long, long weekend, but as you can see, our internet service is back up and running. We had lots of help and have gotten a lot done. The list of thanks is too long to mention here, but I have to mention SLEMCO. Guys, there is no better power company then SLEMCO, bar none! Our neighborhood does not have power lines next to the streets, all of the service lines run in betweed the backyards of the homes, These guys worked almost around the clock on Christmas Eve, then got back on the trucks on Christmas Day, and last night at 6:30 they showed up to hook us back up at Duckaholic's water well. I told his wife to call them at 4:00 that we were ready for service to the new pole, and when dark hit, we figured it would be Sunday or Monday, they were there by 6:15 and done by 6:30.

Goldenrod's home has roof damage and lost his privacy fence, Duckaholic has roof damage and lots of property loss (sheds, dog kennels, barn, etc.). Ducktrickster and his wife have found a home to rent in Crowley until he can get started on a new build.

I will post some more pictures of the damage tommorrow and give you guys updates. I have never been so close to a tornado until that morning, and I hope we never have to again. It was very scary and the sights and sounds were simply crazy.
