ragdoll,
We got through it ok, with just a few shingles missing, but have friends and aquaintances, that didn't fare as well. It went through Clovis 2 blocks from my Mothers house doing extensive damage to several houses and businesses. It completely demolished several houses, mobile homes, fifth wheels, travel trailers, and at least four businesses. When it left Clovis, it pretty much made a beeline to our house, but fortunately it wasn't on the ground when it got here. It was close enough though, we could hear the air inside the house whistling through any opening it could find leaving the house, sounded like a giant vacuum cleaner. When it was over, we went to town to check on Mom's house, which turned out to be ok, and wound up staying in town until around midnight helping friends remove their valuables and furnishings from their house which had lost the entire roof.
It's very bad in town, with lots of people left homeless, people that could sure use your thoughts and prayers. As of tonight, there has been no loss of life, but a couple of the injured people are in critical condition, with one being airlifted to Lubbock, Tx.
Thank you for your concerne, just one more reason this is the best forum on the i-net.
