    Unhappy tornado

    Well I guess today is not my lucky day just got done cleaning all the glass. About 6:15 a tornado passed through my bcackyard, It busted out 4 windows and knocked a giant limb over onto my rof and porch, the limb is still hanging though so no damage to the house from that ...yet. Car is demolished it looks like it got hit by a train....windsheild broken out and all kinda body damage, It only had 1998 miles on it. The hail that was coming down was softball size, freaking insane! I was hiding in my bathroom like a little girl, oh well I guess thats what insurance is for. Now i really need to sell that live rock, got a deductible to pay!

    I feel your pain. Our boat was hit by a tornado in Clear Lake a few weeks ago. $25K in damage. Just put it back in the water this weekend. Still have stainless to re-install, and canvas work needs to be done.
