We had headed down to check on our newly built coach home after Charley came through. We didn't have any damage from either, but sitting in the coach home with a man that can't sit still for five days was a little much. <br /><br />The tornadoes are a lot closer to home for me. I reposted the tale of my niece from the Evansville tornado about 6 years ago. <br /><br />Friday's tornadoes in Indiana were devastating. We're watching the local news that is having a telethon for the victims. Colt's owner Jim Irsay just donated $75k.<br /><br />When my niece's house was destroyed, they didn't sit around waiting for the government to help. In fact they spray painted on of the walls the letters F - Family and Friends<br />E - Emergency<br />M - Management<br />A - Association.<br /><br />The government cannot do it all and cannot do it quickly.Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03121530659338322937noreply@blogger.com
