..The F5 tornado, the most powerful to hit the U.S. in eight years, demolished every business on the main street. Churches lost their steeples, trees were stripped of their branches, and neighborhoods were left unrecognizable. Officials estimate as much as 95 percent of the town was destroyed. At least 10 people died in the storms.

"We've been over the town twice now - all of our partners around the state, the experts from cities with technical search-and-rescue," Maj. Gen. Todd Bunting, the state's adjutant..source (http://apnews.myway.com/article/20070507/D8OVI3PO0.html)

I hope that everyone fared the weekends tornadoes and storms... it looks pretty bad. I hear that one tornado was more than a 1/2 mile wide!

This is an excellent example why I want to start a Jeep-oriented Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) in the county where I live. You can Google Community Emergency Response Team for additional information.

It is well worth the time and effort you put in! Can you say FREE training?!?!? :pepper:
