    TeeJay, thanks for clearing things up but it's is not my truck man;) It is Peakrut's Truck and his insurance policy isn't covering it.

    As I stated before, Prayers to you and those in your area. I feel for them and know what lies ahead for everyone. Storms like that come out of nowhere and in a matter of minutes your way of life can be stripped from you, if not your life.

    Oh its going. The sw part if town is still closed. Property owners can start cleaning but no contractors yet. About 250 houses with major damage. The last I heard was around 100 that are total loses. The school is shot. I have no clue what is going to happen there. It us going to get hectic around here. It will take months of cleaning and years of rebuilding. The Damn lueters have already started. But all in all things are looking up. It is going to be some long days. Thanks for the thoughts and prayers all. Time to pick up the prices and regroup.

    Better check your soil PH. Could be acidic due to excessive moisture with poor drainage.

    Speaking of Tornado's ...

    ...We had one pass right by our house Monday night and got to Eagle Wi. Some of you probably saw this on the news. I had a couple friends that had extensive damage to their homes. One had his truck flipped over by the storm. It is really amazing the damage they can cause

    Well, you and I are two lucky guys. Those in Eagle are pretty lucky too. I can not believe that not one person was killed or seriously injured, especially given that the siren did not work.
