We were on the edge of what went through Lone Grove and killed 8 people.
Charolette and I live about 60 miles west of that area. We started out
with winds that turned to tree twisters then the light rain followed by
pea size hail then marble size hail. Glad we have a steel car port for
the van. Hail fell so long that the yards turned white and in many places
floating on the rain water. It looked like a wave of white across the
place. Did not lose power nor any shingles on the roof but the covers
over the doors and windows are beat all up. All on top of Ruff Diamond is
ok.

All is well at our place and I am doing prevent maint on electric heaters
today. Have installed a new heater then did a complete tear down on the
bath heater and cleaned lubed checked bearings. Cleaned the fan and re
set the thermostat on and off point then tested the heat sense bulb with
heat to be sure the unit is functional.

The twin bed mod is completed and looks great!

Safe travels,

Howdy.

We had a rough, windy night down here is southcentral Texas. Lots of
wind, some gusts up to 50 mph!! Around 10 PM, Jack put up the
larger window awnings. At 2:20 AM, Jack went outside and put the rest of
the awnings up. The gusts were hitting the Bird pretty good. I was
getting nervous but Jack reminded me that our Bird had come through a
Class 3 hurricane in Florida OK. Then this park lost
electricity for a while. The atmosphere was surreal because all lights
went out and yet we had a full moon!! Jack turned on the inverter and
then the coffeepot. We went back to bed as the wind calmed down a little
bit. Got up this AM at 8 to a beautiful sunny day, but still somewhat
windy.

How about y'all? Everyone OK?

Concerned,

Liz
