Rancho Brazos and Cleburne is just a few miles from here. We're almost in between. We had 3 Tornadoes with-in 10 miles. When we finally realized we were in the clear from the Tornadoes, the storm wrapped around and pounded us with hail. Just thought I'd share a few pics. Ol' Stump Jumper didn't fare to well........................... AC in my front bedroom. The top of my beer fridge. This is the Tornado that went over RB and Lake Pat. The Almighty was watchin' over us no doubt. We're OK, all the animals are OK. That's all that matters. My heart goes out to those who lost life and property. God Bless all those folks that came from communities all around to help while it was still raining, and continue to help today. Many have gone without sleep. Many couldn't sleep. I'm proud to call myself a Texan, but I'm more proud of the folks in our community and surrounding areas.

Just a shout out for my boy Locksley123. (My Farmers agent) With all the damage around here, he has an adjuster on the way HERE. He was in constant contact by text last night all the way up to when he had to bury in the tub with a mattress his self, to make sure we were OK. That speaks volumns. And to think they were cheaper too. With all the bad things that's happened lately, there's still good folks left. Thanx Scott. I'm a customer for life.
