I got word about mid afternoon that the Baby died this morning. We went up to the house with chainsaws along with about 15 other men and cut trees and had a couple tractors pulling and pushing. We got the remains of the shelter and trees piled up for a burn. Another farmer will be bringing in an excavator with bucket and thumb tomorrow to pick up the more precise stuff and clean the house up into a pile. Please send prayers for the family. Web site set up for fund raising for the Baby's funeral if anyone is interested. There is a link on WAVY 10s website.

I went to another man's house that lives down the road from Where this house is and He lost his whole roof. The tornado was 1/2 mile wide through there and it cut trees down like I have never seen. How it could clear a woods a 1/2 mile wide in just seconds is just mind boggling. I got some Pics of Burnt Mill creek off of the Yeopim river that I'll post later. I didn't fish that creek much because average depth is 3 to 4 feet deep but no one will fish that creek again for 15 years because trees are in it and tied in knots. It is unreal.

I also made it down to the bethel area on the Yeopim. This is where the boat ramp is for those familiar with this river. I did not see a house down there that did not loose its roof or have a tree that went through to the floor. Those people are in bad shape. The News has not made it to them because the roads have been closed. I was able to get in there this morning while the crews were at a lull. It will be a week or two before they get the power straight and no telling how many fires from all the unknown wiring damage when the lights come back on. Heard of tranformers blowing and catching on fire as they have been trying to bring the power back up. As for me, all I have had to do today is mow my grass. I was very fortunate. But just a mile North of My shop, across the Yeopim river, those poor folks are going through Hell.CF
