Mabank Texas tornado damage

[triplebq]

My home town was hit hard Friday night by an f1 tornado . I lost 7 large trees off 3 acres of land but escaped with no home damage . I did lose the lid off my Brinkman Electrci smoker . At my last count there are still 36 light poles in town broken in half , roofs gone off several homes , one major building in downtown Mabank destroyed , the Mabank DQ lost it's roof and several pains of glass . No life was lost in town and I tell ye we are all very lucky .

WE were all in my second home in Mesquite when the storm hit packing for my son's track meet .

The whole town and Cedar Creek Lake area is very lucky no one lost their life .

Wow, man. Glad to hear you all come out unscathed. Mother nature can do some scary stuff. There should be no shortage of smoking wood for you guys in the next couple of years. We are still working on burning off our Hurricane Gustav wood.
