Ouch. Sorry to hear that.
Even though I've never been through a tornado, they'd been a recurring staple of my dreams since childhood.
All good.. The damage couldve been much worse. By the time it went through us it had weakened and was probably EF2/3, and we were not in the direct center which helped.
The roof held up and just needed to be repaired, a broken window had to be repaired, and we had flooding in the basement. And a couple trees in the back fell. Pretty lucky though as the trees missed the house and power lines.
The worst was the power being out for over a week and a half, but insurance covered Airbnb stays which was good. The insurance basically went through and just cut checks for homes that were in the path.
Its crazy though, our house escaped major damage but the one right across the street had to be gutted and rebuilt due to a tree falling on it.
The worst thing was just the fact it happened so late. With the power out and it being pitch black out we had no idea the extent of the damage until the next morning, when I was going to leave the house and was like well, downed trees are blocking the whole road, so never mind I guess.
