Believe it or not I actually though about you and some of the other board members that I see posting from you part of the world. Does Joey B. live around there too?
I don't know what to say. This is some tough stuff to deal with.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your families.

Good to hear that you and your family made it through the storm. The aftermath of power outage was more shocking to me than the actual tornado. All this technology isn't worth a damn when the **** hits the fan(Think of the Golden Earring quote "All circuits are dead"). Desperation makes some people lose their minds, or what's left of it. Sitting by an open window last night, in the dark without any AC power, I heard about 5-6 gunshots in very close range of my house. I eased the window shut and promptly grabbed my .44 magnum. Luckily, I had my power restored early this morning, and things are returning to a calm state. I have never seen time stand still like it did for the past two days. :shock: The thing to remember is that material goods can be replaced, family and pets can not.

Your mom's power is back on. You need to contact Boogie and tell them that your Boogie is so tough it survived 195 mph winds-maybe they will make a commercial-haha. Which paul got damaged? Got an old sg i have had for years need headstock repair too. keep in touch.

Glad to hear that your brother is staying with your mom. He will make sure that people will "see things his way" if any trouble should arise. :wink:

Glad to hear you guys made it out in one piece. Utter destruction to the immediate north and south of us, but we escaped unharmed.

If you need ANYTHING don't hesitate to ask.

Let us know if and when you need help moving in. That is close enough that I will be able to hook up the MESA amp switcher with four Boogies, and hit you with a loud A-chord through an open window, in the quiet night hours. 8)

it's a pain in the ass to rebuild what you lost, but hell, in the big picture, you were lucky, so many people died.
