BuffaloBill Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Wow .. thoughts and prayers go out to all struck by this terrible tragedy. Closer to home, friends of ours from church literally had the roof blown off their house earlier this week. No reports of a tornado but 8 homes in their immediate vicinity were damaged. Fortunately, they were not hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
