My house was destroyed by tornado this morning
Hi,
My house was destroyed by the tornado this morning. Check the Louisville, KY news stations. My house is the lead story. I must have had a bullseye on my house as it was damaged the worse in the Clark County. I was almost killed twice this morning. I have a big gash on my head when the ceiling fell on me. A few minutes later the bedroom crashed down right on my bed. I was not in it at the time.
I am a mess. Everything is a mess.
I went to drive the F350 to go to the store and someone had stolen the catalytic converter. Part of the house hit the truck so I guess I need to file an insurance claim for both.
Pray for me.
Randy

Another thought for your GoFundMe page see if you can post it on your local Neighborhood Watch Facebook page.
Or have someone do it for you if you don't have a Facebook account.

That is a great idea.

A person showed up saying he wanted to appraise the damage. He seemed surprised when someone answered the door. He was probably casing the place and trying to see what was there to steal.
Guarded the house all last night. Not one minute of sleep. The insurance guy is scheduled to stop by on Monday morning. So hopefully will get things moving. It may snow tomorrow. Screams.
My house received the most damage in the storm. Every news crew was here.
Thank you to all that have sent well wishes and prayers.

Worked on the inside since daylight.
Had to remove five inches of blown in insulation.
Then had to break the ceiling and cut the heating wires.
Then finally tried to recover what I could. Had lots of WWII cased medal sets and other medals sets crushed and water damaged. Some I just purchased and were delivered the night before that had survived in near perfect from 1944 and were gone the next morning.

May 1989 we got hit by what the weather service called a micro-burst, neighbors called it a tornado. Threw an 80 ft red oak all the way thru a 2 story w/ basement house. Wife, kids and self made it out with what we were wearing. Important part of what I said- WE MADE IT OUT.
As the folks have said- notify your insurance carrier at once. Anybody that wants to enter home for any reason either needs ID as a government employee (fire dept, building inspector), utility company employee, or YOUR insurance company.
Your insurance company can help with temporary living arrangements. Get a big manilla envelope- anything that you have to buy, put the receipt in the envelope. They will come in handy later.
Took 5 months for us to rebuild, clean up, replace stuff, move back in. Do not kill yourself trying to do everything yourself- insurance PAYS people to do that.

They should have a curfew in the area....they should also have all the roads BLOCKED that lead into the area with only residents being allowed in. WHY is someone able to drive around in this area???? You should call the chief of police and tell him they should have the area blocked off at the very least, so the patrol guys can keep watch on things more easily.
One of local Police Chiefs received quite a bit of pressure for doing this very thing. He shut down a tornado devastated neighborhood to protect from lookie loos and looters. The media went nuts on him but he stood firm. His job was to protect his community, not please outsiders.

I'm sorry you suffered such devastation. I would suggest you open a givesendgo account, There are quite a few good spiritual folks that would happily bless you in this time. Peace to you in this time.

The tornado has killed me. I am just waiting to die from it, it seems.
Had a panic attack when the strong winds hit the other day and blew off and tore the tarps. Now it has snowed and temperatures in the teens. The insurance company put me in a hotel in a room right next to the elevator. Sounds like a large garage door opener going up and down all day and night. I tried to change rooms but they said that there were none available.
Cannot get help from the insurance company since it is weekend and a holiday on Monday. You call them and leave a message or talk to someone that is using an "answer" menu.

Things can be replaced. Lives cannot be replaced. Since you ALMOST got killed but didn't, today is your lucky day.
It is always in the perspective. Praying for positive results from the insurance companies!!
