Damn, that sucks bro!

The only upside of this I can forsee is, some Part 147 schools are gonna get some new metal to yank on, and engines to practice overhaul procedure with. (once the ins companies write them off of course)

Yesterday, middayish, starting at the school and east bound to US 1 or so, if you know where the police station is.

Sorry to hear that! BTW, from the destruction, it looks like the tornado was at least an F3...correct me f I am wrong though.
