Tornado around Franklin

[Rescue1]

Yup like others have said. South of the tracks got hit. Around the feed store. Food pantry Is destroyed also. Had some friends get hit hard. Friends grandmother lost her house in ridge, down 79 from new baden.

Daughters school friend rode it out in his hallway. House is destroyed. I can only imagine how scary that was

No damage out at the lake. But Franklin will need some time/prayers. My guess is that residents on that side of town may not have had insurance.

I'm working restoration in Calvert and it's a mess here, trees down everywhere.

Saw a ton of pictures from friends that used to live there. Devastation for sure. Praying for the people of the area.

I was driving from OKC back to Austin when my boss told me Franklin was hit. Drove through this morning on my way back to work at the plant. Missed us at the camp ground but we'll be without power and water for a few days. South of the tracks was hit really hard.

Front page of the paper this morning says 55 homes damaged or destroyed in Franklin.

I just found out from my neighbors in Port Sullivan (Milam County, next to the Brazos) there was a tornado about a mile from us. I drove over yesterday afternoon and saw the carnage. 4 homes damaged some so heavily I'd say destroyed. Port Sullivan Cemetery heavily damaged. I have no idea how far it traveled. I was stunned to hear my neighbors didn't have power for almost 24 hours because we lost power for only 3 hours. They are 1/2 a mile from us.

I'm good.
Missed me by 2 miles. One of our Foremans here at work got hit. I don't know how bad since I work nites and he's on days and he left to see about his kids. Heard he has some roof damage and his neighbors place was leveled. A guy that works for me during normal business had it come by his place by a matter of feet. I didn't see any damage on his house as I drove by on my way to work. I don't know if he's at work tonite since we are in a outage and he's on another crew. Then one of my inspectors is staying at the Pioneer Motel, which is just on the other side of Hwy 79, said he slept thru it all!!! He said all the commotion finally woke him up about 1:30. He ended up having a 2x4 hit and bust his windshield on his truck. I feel bad for the people who has worked for months remodeling this house I drive by everyday. Looked like they got thru with it just a few months ago, now it has no roof.
