Y'know, as we sit and argue over whether paying money for a parking spot to avoid the car line is worth it, the fruits of our labor is being borne as extreme weather.

It's so disheartening.

I don’t know what to say in these posts other than we are fucked. That’s not very helpful. Thank you for continuing to keep us informed just how fucked we are.

We were hit by an EF2 last year and are still recovering. The path went through our neighborhood. It is forever changed. We’re forever changed and still dealing with the fear, repairs, and “making things right”. My heart goes out to the many, many people and communities experiencing this.

One of the scarier aspects of this, beyond loss of life and loss of property, is how long until we’re uninsurable on the plains?

I'm wondering what part of the country isn't going to be uninsurable at this point. For us it's hail. Any time there's a storm there's a chance of softball sized hail.

Ugh. Awful. About a month prior to the tornado, we had record-setting hail like I’ve never seen. It was softball sized and just traumatic to sit through while we watched all of our stuff get beat up over 30 minutes. Then it stopped…then it kicked back up again. Our roof, siding, and windows were trashed. So we had our insurance agent out to make a claim.

One month later, the tornado split a tree in our front yard and dropped it on our house. Welcome back, Mr. Insurance Man. Every time we get a letter from them, I’m like, this is it. This is them saying they’re dropping us.

There’s not going to be anywhere to go.

I’m dreading hurricane season with every fiber in my being. Every indication shows it will be a bad one. Can’t wait. Speaking of places hard to ensure. We just get it all now. The extreme weather all around us not normal and is terrifying.

Patsy Baloney - do you and your family or community need anything? Is there any way we can help?

A big ol weatherproof dome would be nice!

No, thank you, I don’t think anything was ever established for the community after the emergency linemen left. That was the only time there was a central place to send anything.

It has been almost a year since the hail storm, the following month was the tornado. I just hope we stay out of the path for a while.
