You lived just up the road from us, we were off buffalo lakes and 27. We didn't know till the next day but one went through north fayetteville and south bragg... took out the material maintence facility where my father worked. Damage was quite impressive especially all those snapped pines, ..won't forget that smell anytime soon. Still impressed how quickly they got that Lowes back up. We were going to go there that afternoon but mother wasn't feeling well so we decided not to...kinda glad. Knew several folks that were in the store when it hit. Its a small world isnt it
