Rebuilding

Yesterday after the workers left from the water plant and cleaning the debris, Jeffrey and I drove a couple of our friends over to see the destruction from the tornado. I hadn't been since the Friday after it hit. In some ways it looks worse than it did that day. They have cut and piled some of the trees so in a few areas you can really tell how bad it was.

A crew came in and framed up the top of the water plant to house the two portable water treatment plants. I snapped a picture of the old controls sitting out in front of the water plant.

While we were out there we met a corp worker coming out going home. A couple of days ago a few of the corp workers flew over the areas where the tornado hit. They made a video and took several photos. He told us that in a couple of locations it appeared like the tornado actually split into two tornados and then came back together to form a larger tornado. He told us that he would let us see the video and give us some pictures of our houses from the sky. Evertime I ride up there I realize how lucky and blessed we were.

Poor Syd is having some post traumatic stress issues. Yesterday when it was storming a little it began to thunder. She started screaming and crying that the tornado was coming again and that it was going to hit our house. Everytime it thundered she cried. I tried to assure her that it was going to fine and that the thunder was not going to hurt us. She is going to be scared of storms from now on....poor thing!
