Just sent Pigsitter a email, hes down by Harrisburg... Hope everyone down there is doing alright. raying:

Hey guys I'm fine, but Harrisburg as well as the nearby small town of Ridgway got hit pretty hard.I'm guessin the tornado crossed my road about a half mile from me then evidently headed to Harrisburg.Damage hasn't been only in those areas as I spent part of my work day helping remove the sound equipment from a tornado damaged church in Carrier Mills which is 7 miles So. of Harrisburg.I've only managed to get a pic or two so far and will try and post them later,right now I'm headin out to buy a tarp to cover a missing roof on an outbuilding!

Glad your OK Pig!! :trink39:

It sounds as if the Harrisburg Wal*mart was damaged...I hope Wok&Roll across the street is ok. (Not connected with the chain) That's my favorite place to stop on the way back from the Shawnee. Glad to hear from Pigsitter.

I'm glad it missed us. We're just a few miles below it. A friend of mine up there said that thier roof had heavy damage and the vehicles and house windows weren't looking too pretty.

Here's a picture of the church where I was at today,this is of the east end of the building,rather odd damage as the storm came from the west.

Here's a little better view,

I saw Harrisburg on the CBS news tonight.

Told the wife and kids "my buddy pigsitter lives there" guess you can imagine the look on their faces.

Glad your OK Bryan. :fing32:

Pigsitter, glad you're OK! Looks like the church took a pretty good hit!

Glad you are okay bud, thanks for checking in.

Good to hear your OK Pig! :thThumbsU

Did the wind get in through broken windows or doors on the West side?


Kind of looks like the house (a customer's home, not mine) I was at a couple years ago. Once the wind got in due to debris and a tree taking out the front door and windows on one side it started popping the windows and wall on the opposite side.

Scarey stuff when you see it in person and think of the power it took to do the damage.

I see on the Today Show that Matt Lauer and Al Rocher are in Harrisburg.

 

[pigsitter]

Mark / Ohio,to answer your question yes there was damage to the roof on the west end of the building,the odd thing is except for some water damage due to the roof leaking the inside of the church looks as though they had just opened for Sunday services.

attorney_barnabas_collins I took this pic just for you,as of right now the wok n roll is closed for repairs although I did notice this evening that they still have power as their lights and sign were still on!

 

[pigsitter]

the following 2 pics are of a church that was across the highway from the wok n roll and the senior citizens center several buildings to the south,really amazing how these storms hop around

Awww. I guess a restaurant takes second to peoples homes, but I hate to see that.

I have been there a few times with the in-laws. Pretty good food there.

Glad to here you came through the storm OK pigsitter. I am praying this next round of storms today leaves you alone. And me too, I'm only about 45 miles east of you.
