Daddy Dee Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 His house was damaged heavily by a tornado on Friday. The front porch, a full length and substantial structure is gone. You can see daylight through the living room ceiling, with the shingles and decking blown off just the trusses to attach a tarp. Tony was at home with his family and they were heading to the basement when the tornado struck. They are all OK and I know they are thankful for that.

seti Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I was thinking about you guys when those storms rolled through. That was way tooo close. So glad your ok. I was watching very low hanging clouds pass to the east of Downtown Little Rock all night. I hate seeing rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJkizak Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Noticed that the roof trusses held up ok but that doesn't mean much in a tornado. JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 Tony had his house built with a number of features that above standard spec. Not sure what they all are. The front porch timbers were substantial. I've been trying to imagine where they might have landed. A 6x6 post is not very aerodynamic.

williamss Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Thanks Daddy Dee. We were lucky the storms didn't get bad down here even though several tornados were spotted, none touched ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
