fight cited up by Fenton Lone Rock area and we were watching the skies and we're out in the yard and we could see it over to the northwest and that's not the usual direction the tornado comes from is usually Southwest it just gave the northwest and we could see a tornado form and come down and then it lifted back up and then there was another new one that we could see and then there was a big dark cloud right to the north of us and she went it's wedged and that cloud started moving a little bit to the west and the two left where she turned another tornado and not with that Cindy to realize it was big and playpen oh you bet you could see well when it's got closely there was shingles and debris flying around and you can see us we notice building in here and my wife was watching is in a

Mike look like you got wasted years yeah there's nothing left really worth saving very little what what do you remember from happening last night Indiana recollection yeah you're eating dinner and the sirens went off first everyone ran outside looks you with the tornadoes where we were looking to the southwest didn't see anything we worked up Northwest who saw the big one-oh Northwest the town there put the family down the base when I came back up to check on a couple of things and went outside and I didn't see the tornado anymore all of a sudden all the turkey leaves on the trees across the street just sucks Street up in the air just straight up and I figured it was time for myself to add to the basement so I went downstairs in or than 15 seconds later you could hear the house on Lake was crunching and was gone you need to describe for me what your house will click this morning no it's it's a total mess really there's nothing left and nothing can be saved at all my work cars blown into the front of the house and smashed practically flat and all the furniture splintered bullying was left as all the clothes were in the closet it's just completely untouched you know nothing nothing moved a lot of strange things inside then when you walk around really two-by-fours blown through walls twigs stuck in electrical sockets and it's really screams things where do you go from here Mike it's a good question and try to get somebody to rebuild it that's the big bad part about this is that so many people are wiped out it's going to be hard to find somebody to build for us if
