Wow, wouldn't ya know it..a random, freak of nature tornado jumped right out of the sky and threw a bunch of trees smack dab on top of our Sid's house! What're the chances, right???? Sid's house has been declared unsafe, so they have to move out...indefinitely. The whole front half of the house is going to have to be ripped down to the studs and rebuilt b/c of the structural damage...not to mention the huge amount of water damage from the rain that came pouring in after the trees fell on the house. She and her daughter were huddled in the bathroom through the storm and it wasn't until the worst of it was over that Sid realized she could hear water running...it was the rain streaming through their demolished roof. She managed to save her scrapbooks thank goodness! SO even though she'll probably get mad, why don't we all say a prayer for Sid and her sweet family okay?
wow, it starts the whole video over when you go to post. Anyway, Sid!! I am so sorry! And here I was complaining about my WalMart incident.
Let me know if there anything I can do to help. Do you know Kay Schell? I love her!

Hey...does this mean we get to throw a big ole housewarming party when the house is done? I am so glad everyone was safe and Sid looked a WHOLE LOT calmer and WAY more in control than I would have. Way to go Sid! Hang in there girl, we are saying a prayer for you and your family!

Holy CRAP!! I can't believe there was a tornado in Savannah. I mean, I know it's possible. But how scary. I'm so glad Sid is ok. Please give her my condolences and let her know that I'm thinking about her. It's amazing no one was hurt!

Thanks everyone. Believe me I go from calm to hysteria multiple times a day. My neighbor behind me (Kenny) had it much worse. We're coping the best we can with a little help from my friends (THANKS J & K for all of it).
