A bit of an update

Today is day 2 after the tornado and life is looking better :)  We have such good friends and they have been there in every way for us.  We have a generator hooked up and it is keeping the refrig and two freezers running so we'll be able to save the food!  I made a pot of coffee this morning and it feels like things are getting back to normal.  I'm at a friend's house doing some laundry and using his computer.
THANKS to all of you for your well wishes and prayers...I appreciate it so much :)
Here's some more pictures of home.
We have tarps over the roof of the house as most of the shingles were blown off.  Looking forward to the insurance, rural electric and our electrician coming.  There's no water or power as the poles were ripped from the ground....yikes!  HOT wires!
Thanks for your support and I will try toi check in in a couple of days.
