This was in 2007.
We were here then and thank you for the clarification. Good to hear your house was not affected. These freak things happen sometimes.

I have a first cousin who lives in a suburb of Baton Rouge, La. and I called her a week or two ago. Linda and her husband David built their house 35 years ago---never no water ----never dreamed water would get into their house---- but this time. We were shocked but managed to say "others were in much worse shape as we only got a couple inches actually in their home".

Who would believe the tornado on Groundhog Day 2007. Freak things happen sometimes.
