Digesters,Ted, Ryan, Jim G, Hofs and all who sent personal messages, thank 
you for your concern.
Its been a rough few days, but we made it through. We now have power after 
having none since the storm, and the cleanup begins. Our damage is minimal. We 
were VERY fortunate that the storm turned east at the last hour and put us on 
the much more favorable western side. From 20 to 100 miles east of us, the 
devastation is incredible. Up until the turn eastward at landfall, the storm eye 
was on track to pass right over my house. Instead of the 130+ mph eyewall winds 
we expected, we "only" got 80 to 100 mph winds.

The only casualties we suffered were some large limbs from the large Oak in 
the back yard, some roof shingles, and the previously pristine headliner in my 
73 T'all accidently gouged by the corner of a plywood sheet brought home to 
board up before the storm.

That same 2wd Travelall hauled trees, limbs, coolers, and pulled snags and 
stumps Fri and today for friends, family and neighbors, causing more than one 
person to ask what it was.

Thoughts and prayers from us to all affected by disasters such as these.

The Toney family.
