Actually it was more of cat napping through the night. We were all huddled in the living room and kitchen up on mattresses. Stuff smashed into the house and water gushed through any openings. The wood on my roof stayed on so I was really one of the luckier ones. It was all over in about 8 hours. Some of those suckers can go for days. 9 months to rebuild the house, 5 years to rebuild the area, 10 years to look somewhat normal. Still don't have many big trees. They all got blown away.
