As a passing note as to how cluttered Nellie’s house was? Her daughter hired a cleaning crew. They’ve brought the back of a semi truck to cart things off, with extra dumpsters. They’ve been working almost non-stop (they took a break on Sunday afternoon) since Friday. They’ve hauled that thing away six times to the dump and back, and they’ve only made it into the living room. They get here at 7 AM every morning, and they don’t stop until 6 PM.

You know those welcome signs that have messages in front of a church? Looks like Friday's madness caused the wind to punch a hole straight through that sign at church, and then rip the plastic out and letters off. The metal around the edges is still there--they're working on fixing it. Roof leaked over where the instruments are kept and a couple pews, a handful of shingles blew away, and the heating was briefly knocked out. Aside from that, it looks like everything held up well.
