Northwood Tornado

Power is restored in our home. There are still parts of Northwood without power. Looking around town I feel guilty for how fortunate we are to have suffered so little damage when so many have suffered greater loss.
Joe spent the day working at the Grocery store helping out. The structural engineers came and it has been determined that the store will need to be rebuilt so everything has to be removed. He has been busy helping them for several days now. He used to work there before the tornado. He was supposed to work the 4-7pm after school last Monday. Things are very different now.


The High School students will be starting school on Tuesday in a nearby town and the K-6 will be going to a town quite some distance away. I feel for the parents of very young children having to send their young children so far from home.
Jaycee wants a cake with construction equipment on it. I don’t know if it is because of the tornado of if she just likes construction stuff. She keeps calling it the big tomato and hopes that we don’t ever have another big tomato come again.

The Red Cross fed us dinner. The tables were decorated with some pretty flowers. We had stew, biscuits, chicken wings, and fruit cocktail. Jaycee also had a banana.

The big machinery noises in our little area have been replaced with the sound of saws, drills, and hammers during the day and they start early and continue until dark. The generators have finally stopped and it is much quieter here. I actually slept fairly well last night.
Huggles and Love,
Raggedy
