:eek:now that's some devastation there!!! amazing how much force these things pack. once they get some debris moving at 200 mph all he!! brakes loose :eek::eek: where the he!! did they hunker down????

First photo second post- They were prepaired, They had a metal skid unit tied down with 1 1/4" cables barried 6' in the ground with screw tie downs. One end of the tie downs on the skid unit was pulled out of the ground and lifted one end of the structure to 60 degrees before it was all over with, they thought they were gone'ers.

Wow.. I sent these to a buddy thats down there that works for them.. Thats NUTS!

I'd have to change underwear after that...maybe they should look into puting the shed in the ground from now on :eek:

It's not very incuraging when the weather man on TV says,

"If you are not below ground at this time, you will not survive this tornado ,you will die"

glad they are ok. Where were you at KC when this all went down. Glad your ok too!

Wow, glad the guys on the rig were ok.
