[PVRCNC] tornadoes

[Jamey Brookover]

All ok here...  No damage just a few small branches in the yard.  We did however hear the freight train and took cover in the lower portion of the house.
 
Not so good for Jerry, NT4Q, however.  His house sustained some heavy duty damage.  They are able to still stay there, but a lot of damage to outside and portions of roof.  He reported his antennas are "mangled".  They are still without power. 
 
73...
