>>further east it started knocking down power poles along a highway where my 
>>wife's cousin has a restaurant and flower shop, but no news about that 
>>yet.  Further east yet, it flattened the community of Degonia Springs 
>>where a family of four was
>>killed.

>>We are safe and sound with only a few rain sprinkles and a strong breeze.
