I know it wasn't much, but every little thing helps.
Sounds more like helping a little thing

We’re safe here in Kettering but near where I work metal road signs were twisted like plastic straws.

Hara Arena got its roof ripped off. We kind of needed some help getting that thing torn down, I guess.

We live about 12 miles NW of Greenville. Although we were lucky the tornadoes were north and south of us, it was a very violent storm. My yard could not take it and my mancave took in quite a bit of water. Good thing I laid indoor/outdoor carpet out there so the cleanup is easier.
Other than being alive, the best thing I saw was Jamie Simpson losing his cool on TV. Gotta say I enjoyed that.

That's crazy that people were complaining. You'd think they would rather be safe.

My wife said the same thing while we were watching, so I turned to her and said, “have you ever heard of the Heidi game?”

Brother... They ain't supposed to hit cities either... Or come at night. The planet is changing things up.
Also... Those of us up this way... If you've got a chainsaw and a truck, people really need help. They still need water in Brookville. Every area hit needs food. A lot of people in those neighborhoods didn't have much to begin with. Now they don't have shit. I've been doing board ups, and tarping roofs all week at work. It's unbelievable. The people are so appreciative of even the slightest bit of help. So if you have some spare time or resources, please chip in a little.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.

Dude, don't get complacent. Tornadoes absolutely can and do hit in mountainous terrain.

I talked to my son the next day. it turns out he was on his way to Englewood driving through the whole mess. He's OK, but trying to cash in on misery doing construction work and housing rehab type work.. He's free lancing for some woman who owns a boatload of rentals in the area for now..
I misstated.. He will probably cash in..He's not the type to take advantage of people..

I live on the east side of Dayton and it stayed a couple miles north of me. Never been so scared. Pretty sure I saw it during lightning flashes as it passed by and heard the roar. Scary night for sure.

Wild stuff, wish you the best man, that is some work. Hope everyone works together and helps everyone out.

Not being complacent, have had tornado warnings for years but everytime they lift up over the mountains and it just turns to wind.
The only way a tornado could go through our valley is if it started from the south and ran perfectly down the middle, highly unlikely.
Also, my house is underground. The thing i worry about here is earthquakes.
