One good thing is the strong family he has behind him. If I know the Dykstras, Dave will come out of this stronger than ever....Oh,,,Was the boat OK?.......Bill S </div></div>

Thanks Bill and everyone else. Boat and truck stored somewhere else for winter so OK. Amazingly the Camaro looks to be OK other than needing a good detail even with the roof of the garage literally being blown off over it.

They have a long road ahead of them and are among the more fortunate. 300 feet to the east and they would have had nothing to come back to other than a foundation. Like a scene out of a movie, still hard to comprehend after being there all day.

Yesterday Dave said all those years of beating on it made it easier to survive the tornado - ha!

Happy to see the camaro made it out in one piece! Dave might be right, he's surely had his fun with that beast! It would be terrible to hear he lost it after all these years.
