late night/very early morning april in ann arbor
waking up to sirens/alarms
the storm came quickly
a tornado touched us
for a few moments
leaving its mark
blew through
much to fix
lots of mess
none hurt
a win.

yes, no worries really at my house, the entire town was lucky really, everything is fixable, except for the big trees of course, but all people are good and that’s what matters. crews set to work yesterday helping to restore things as soon as it was light

I hope property also avoided damage.
About 12 years ago, a tornado ran through our street, missed our home by about 20 yards. Neighbors were not so lucky. But everyone survived.

our whole town was very lucky, just having to restore some power, move trees, fix lines, and rebuild some things. the storm did not stay for long and moved on. all those things that happened can be restored – just some on and off rain now.
