#tornado saga

we have power!! no internet bc we have to have them come out and repair it but for now i'm tethering my phone's access to my laptop. anyway here is the formal post on why i've been away.

monday, may 27th, 2019 a tornado went over our house. never did anyone here in dayton think we'd get a tornado, especially not an ef-4. our lot got lucky; there's minimal damage to us overall, but damage nonetheless. below the read more are pics and more info

^ the front yard; a limb is leaning on the house and window. as far as we know there’s no window damage anywhere. (sorry for poor image quality)

^ tree limbs in the yard as well as some neighbors. shingles from the house across from us, as well as the one that caved in due to a business going into it (and perhaps the street behind us)

^ looking out from our house to the right we see more of the street and our neighbors. more shingles and the limbs in our yard

^ our patio and backyard. here’s where we think we got it worse in the back than the front, apart from the limb situation. mostly everything is okay, though we have SOME damage to things like the shed, roof, fascia, gutters, etc.

i may post pics of down the street and around the neighborhood (if so i'll link here as well) but my aunt and uncle got it worse. good thing is their insurance is covering a lot of stuff so there's less worry! if anyone reading this was in the tornadoes or any for that matter, i'm glad you're safe and okay. it sucks hearing what sounds like a freight train then rotation. it's so scary you think you're gonna lose your house and everything, or even worse.

a tornado went over our house last night, we got so incredibly lucky. there is a ton of cleanup and neighbors got it worse but i had never been that scared in my life

it turns out the tornado did more than it seems. we need to replace the whole roof, the gutters, some of the fascia and soffit, part of the fence, the awning panels, and the new shed's roof as well. that's so much and it's so stressful

@a-flying-gay:

I was in Cincinnati (Lebanon) when that happened. It just barely skimmed our area and I hope your family repairs your house and no one was hurt!

oh gosh i’m glad you’re okay! our insurance adjuster comes out today so this process will finally begin!! we ended up fine overall thankfully though ;v; let’s hope no more tornadoes ever ibuekfsjn
