Yeah, I wasn't even home. I was in Plymouth for a professional organization meeting, which is closer to the area, Dexter, where the worst of the damage was. Apparently there were six twisters in Monroe County, which is closer to my house. My bathroom contractor lives in Dexter but I've heard his house wasn't touched.
It is always heartwarming how an area pulls together after something like this. Busch's grocery store (local stores) is donating so much to those affected. They were going around neighborhoods just giving away gallons and gallons of bottled water. They were open last night, with no power, and giving food and things away to people who lost everything. The owner was on TV tonight and he said "This community always supports us, we are happy to give back to anybody who needs it." The tornado that hit that community has been deemed an EF3, which is pretty major for this area.
It did dawn on me that if my house had been hit, I'd get a new bathroom for $1000 instead of $9000. And I'd get a new kitchen, those new wood floors I've been wanting, new furniture... anyway, I jest. Everybody is very thankful that there were NO fatalities or serious injuries at all.
