Re: Andy Cooper????
Friends in Piedmont lost everything. House is gone. Fortunately, neighbors wrangled the dogs, but the horses are still missing. No one was home. Texting is the best way to reach anyone in that part of the state. It's pretty bad, damage-wise, but only four confirmed fatalities.

Re: Andy Cooper????
Friends of ours that live south of Cashion had extensive damage to their home. I'm not sure where Andy is in relation to them, but I believe he is in the same area.

My sister in laws parents David and Mandy Pletcher lost their brand new home in Piedmont today. Good thing they are in Florida and not at home. There is a baby still missing in Piedmont. Prayers are needed.

Re: Andy Cooper????
I'll get in touch with Terry tomorrow. If anyone wants to do anything and needs an account set up, let me know and I can take care of it. Keep us updated, will you, please. That was an awful storm and I am so grateful there were so few lives lost. Hopefully, this part of the country will get a break after this round of storms.

You folks in the south and mid-west have been devastated for weeks now. Please know you all are in our families thoughts and prayers.
Since the past weeks, I have been giving to the red cross, is there a better more direct local agency to send donations to?

Re: Andy Cooper????
Won't be here much the next few days, thanks for your thoughts.
Gonna be a lot of work the next several weeks.
It was still about 11 miles southwest at this point, but it was obvious that it was headed right for my house, at this point Dez was already crated in the cellar and I headed there right after I took this, the edge of the picture you can see corner of my barn it was a big old barn and had been there for years.
Both of my trucks are toast.
Not sure how bad the four wheeler is yet.

It's not how many breaths you have taken but how many times it has been taken away!
Has anyone noticed common sense isn't very common anymore.

Info on Facebook, for AL, We Are T-Town, for Joplin, Joplin Tornado Info. Haven't gotten one for OK yet, but American Red Cross and United Way are both on the ground and working on recovery. If you prefer faith-based, Convoys of Hope is in Joplin.ben33127 wrote:I live near cullman, al and the support for this area two weeks ago was nothing short of a miracle.....Does anyone know of any organization where you can donate or help in any way to these families?

Ditto what Chuckar said, and I am glad that you are safe.
I was keeping in touch with a buddy south of Wichita most of the day in hopes that he would be able to stay out of harms way.

Re: Andy Cooper????
Talked to Andy tonight, right now he's doing OK. Waiting on the insurance co. to take look before he starts cleanup. Staying with his GF in Edmond, got a loaner car, some donated clothes, and the only dog he had at home is now at his dads. As soon as the insurance adjuster gives him the go ahead he will start cleanup. Not sure when that will be, said he'd let me know.
