Whew...we made it through the storm. The rest of the ranch was not so lucky. Animals and plants alike were lost to the raging winds. We don't know the full extent of the damage, but the farmer says it will be at least $10,000. The farmland was lost and they will lose most of their revenue for the year. The barn is badly damaged and the siloh fell over. I don't think anyone was injured, but some of the cows didn't make it... The power is out and I'm sending this on my i-Pod Touch. There is also no running water in the faucet so we are dring bottles now. The car is gone, so I won't be home for a few more days. It's for the best because I need to comfort the farmer and his wife after the mental and physical stress they've had and is yet to come. The animals are like family so it's like they've lost some family members. To learn more about the impact tornadoes cause, go to this site. I need to go help clean up now...it's gonna be a looooonnnggg time until I come home...
