Tornado 2009 Part 2

I told mom I was on my way and I'd be there as soon as I could. She said to go to Loves and park, I'd have to walk in. Traffic was miserable as word was all over the radio that there was damage in Williamsville. A small little community of about 1100. So when we have issues, everyone comes out and tries to make sure we are okay...and my phone continues to blow up with text messages and phone calls. "Are you okay, we just heard about the tornado," they would say. "um Yeah I heard about it too, sure can't tell what's going on right now. I'll keep you posted."

Ugh, can someone please tell me what is going on??? Please? Call the police chief, he'll know! Why on earth did I NOT think of this sooner?? So, I call Shawn, my trusty neighbor.
ME:"How bad is it?"
Chief: "Well, my garage is gone, the house is pretty bad."
ME: "OMG I'm so sorry. How's my house??"*
Chief: "I can't tell if your house is there or not."
ME: "Ok, I'll be there as soon as I can"

really!!?? No one can tell me if my house is still standing??!! Really???!!! *sigh*

So I finally get to a place where I can park my car, change my clothes, my shoes, and start hiking and try to get to my house. Cars are parked all over the place and no one is getting anywhere very quickly. So I keep walking, my phone is dying and it's a long walk to my house...even into town from the truck stop.

I made the long haul, realizing now that my car is parked really far away my phone is going to die and there is no power. Lovely. Oh and did I mention that I was walking in my flip flops after I dropped my drawers and changed right by the side of my car. Oh well, it was done and fortunately I had other clothes in my car. I was completely hysterical trying to figure out if I was going to have a home. My neighbor said that he knew my house was standing at least from the front. My brother's classmate who is also the next town over cop, calmed me. I was in a mood to hurt someone at this point.

Now, to get my dogs and hopefully see my house.
