We survived well.  Got some hail but nothing major that we notice yet.  Lost power in the middle of the night.  Good thing my cell phone has an alarm clock.

Well I hope everyone else is doing ok like Tattguy said.  Let us know if not. 
If ya don't know where ya are, go back to da beginnin.

We got hit pretty good in Andover, I just got done with my last ball game for the summer up at Diamonds and was just ordering a pitcher for the whole team when the sky started to turn that light green, two wayed my dad had him open the pole barn door so I can get my truck out of the hail just in case. So I knew I was going to be in for a long night. I got to 20 and hanson and the pager went off to man the stations, so we all parked our vehicles in the station, sirens went off, a couple vehicles parked at the intersection, so I walked out, had them park, and come in, we sat outside the station's door and watch the power go out on houses, felt the temperature drop and then the big chunks of hail.

The hardest part of Andover was north of 20 to 58 and east to crosstown.

We ended up losing a few trees in our yard, my mom was sitting by the picture window after the siren turned off, than the big oak came down next to it. Than she went to the other end here comes a big limb from the back. So I ended up driving up to get her, the road was flooded out, so I turned around, went back through to the other entrance off hanson, got halfway down crawled over two trees, saw downed power lines, so I told all the neighbors to stay inside on my way back out. Drove up to 58 to come in that way and was able to finally get to moms house, loaded the dogs up and went back to the station. Here are some of the pics from clean up.
