    The flu getting blew over is a curious thing. Hope you get it taken care of without much water damage in the house. Going to take serious overhaul of the roof structure.

    since you didn't mention it, I assume everyone is Okay?

    Yes you do. Id start with that chimney. That shouldn't have happened if you think about it. The shingles held but the chimney blew over?

    Take note of which trees "held". That nearest large one looks like a pin oak. Is that right and did it make through without losing any major branches?

    yes it held along with the two others not in the pic. what did not hold was the sweetgum in the pasture which snapped and took out my fence. also we had 4 white oaks down the road that got up rooted.

    Yikes, glad you and your family are okay! Which of the numerous, recent storms did the damage?

    We went up to Greenville on Sunday (traveled US 69) to a Church dedication and saw where a recent tornado did a lot of destruction just south of Emory.

    If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!

    wow. Hope you can get all that made right. Glad you are safe.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    If you have the flue rebuilt you may consider a saddle behind it. That would help support it as well as help with ice build up.

    10-4, we are going to check into switching over to gas logs instead of rebuilding it but Im not real sure if thats what I want to do [:0][:D]

    Ain't nothing like a wood fire, though. Look at all that firewood you're gonna have!
    Glad everyone is safe and I'm glad to see you back around here.
