We've had some tornado like weather, where my neighbor had a down or up wind that just destroyed their trailer, next door, along with a tree down against their trailer. They weren't even home. We ended up having to call their relatives. We had just gone down the road to get some groceries, & Wow, did we see damage!! We ended up helping take the tree trunk out, (Hubby did). Lately we've been getting the rain that we need every afternoon. Hopefully that will take care of the deficit that we're experiencing, wow BIG TIME in Central FL!!
