Hi everyone,
If you haven't heard, there were 2 tornados that hit Laramie yesterday afternoor from the same thunder storms that caused the tornados in Windsor, Colorado. One of them went through or very close to my neighborhood. I didn't have much damage other than to stuff in my back porch (lawn furniture, dog kennel, etc.). There was some damage caused in town to Walmart, the Junior high school, cars and many roofs and fences. The golf course also took a hit and lost 20 or 30 mature trees (30 to 50 feet tall).
The power is out in part of the town (including my house) because I guess there were about 50 power lines that went down. Hopefully we'll get is back soon before all my food spoils. The power was out for most of the town until last night but we didn't lose power at my office at all. I haven't heard of any injuries here but it is quite a mess. I think it is the first tornado ever to hit Laramie, there have been a few small funnel clouds before but nothing that hit the town or caused any damage.
I just wanted to update everyone on what happened here last night.
Take care,
Rolf

Hey Uncle Rolf!
Glad you dodged those tornadoes-if you can dodge a tornado, you can dodge anything! ;) We had some tornadoes here in Winston-Salem a couple of weeks ago. They got the local farmer's market and airport. I even saw lightning near the soccer field that lit up the whole score board for a couple seconds. It was eerie. Hope that Nissan is working out well for you-I want that for my next car! :)
Best,
Jamie Lee :)
