Sorry that I could not check in earlier. Because the wind was so strong,
the lights kept blinking and I would not get online. The last couple of
days have been bad around here. A horse farm got hit by a tornado. It was
less than a mile from us and the family across the road lost their shed to
fire. All we lost were some tree limbs and a family of squirrels. Their
nest was blown out of a tree and killed the babies.
Polk County got hit hard. Later today, we will be checking our cemetery
preservation projects and see if there was any damage to any of the
cemeteries that we have been working on preserving. At least two had been
hit by tornados before.
Now to catch up on some of the flies that have come in while I was offline.

Good to hear Bob at least was OK last night. He was right in the path. I
think a couple of other GAGenWeb folks were, too. I heard on the news
that
a tornado touched down close to Doris Robbins in Buchanan, Ga.
