    I truly am sorry to hear about your misfortune, Hawg. Is there anything any of us can do to help?

      Yep, this spring has been pretty rough. Every day this week except one we have had either severe thunderstorm warnings, tornado warnings, or flood warnings. Been low 80's, but after tonights storms, we are in the 50's for the weekend, waking up to 25 Monday morning, then back to 80's by Tuesday afternoon.

      Typical midwest weather. Don't like it, wait about 20 minutes...
      Well, just got past round 1 of the storm. Tornado touched down within about 3/4 mile of the shop / BOL. Tons of hail. Damaged 3 vehicles here. T-Woman, at the in-town house, said it past. I will see what is down on the way home.

      Whiskey.
      Tango.
      Foxtrot!

        Next round is hitting now... I think it will kinda slide into Wis to the north so the worst should be past.

        BTW, Hawg, if you need anything from us Orange folk, holler. You got it real bad... ugg

        It tore up Lena, Il pretty bad, and touched down in Shirland, Rockton, Roscoe, and So. Beloit areas, right by me.

        Watch out brother...

          One of our permanent deer blinds was destroyed. One 40 acre section we lost about 40 or so trees.
          This weather has been out of control. I think we are up to 11 tornadoes since January 2026.
          Wind and Water can be a powerful thing.

          Hawg, able to salvage the camper?

          My Aunt lives in Wisconsin and last time I spoke to her she said she can't remember a time when they had so many storm fronts roll in one after the other. She is tired of running to the basement with her bottle of booze and the dog every time a warning comes out. She don't like storms. You guys up that way better hunker down. I understand more is on the way. Funny, we have had a relatively quite spring here in East Texas. They just lifted a burn ban here a couple days ago.

            I just got yelled at by my aunt for not checking on her. Apparently there is flooding and 20 or so Tornadoes that have touched down in the last few days. Hunker down people.

          Did the tornado come close to there at all?
          Damn.
          I live closer to camp than Hawg does
