    Thanks for that update Pat. I was VERY concerned for Gretchen, and I'm very relieved to hear that she and family are okay.

    I just now learned that the Humane Society of Huron Valley is offering emergency shelter to pets displaced by events such as yesterday's storm: http://annarbor.com/news/humane-soci...isplaced-pets/

    God bless the HSHV!!!!!

    More about the tornado (spawned by the record warmth of the last few days?) from annarbor.com: http://annarbor.com/news/dexter/marc...exter-tornado/

    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.
    CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

    Glad to hear Gretchen is ok! It was so scary how fast those storms popped up. Lansing didn't get a drop of rain that day.

    Gretchen called me this evening...

    She and her family are fine. Their power is back on now, but they still don't have Internet access.
    She said to thank folks here for all the concern, good wishes, and prayers. She appreciates them very much and will appreciate any more anyone wants to send along.

    She should be back on line soon. She told me of the widely-varied degrees of destruction there and expressed the amazement and wonder of all that there were no deaths, no serious injuries.

    Sending love to PT friends, from Gretchen and Pat and all

    Hello everyone - thanks for all the concern, prayers and good wishes. We were so very lucky - lost a couple of big trees, and the TV antenna and satellite dish. Power was back about 6pm yesterday - internet around 5pm today.

    If anyone is interested in pictures, go to You Tube and type in Dexter tornado. Lots of videos of damage and several of the actual tornado - in progress.

    Thank, Pat, for calling and checking up on us
    Thanks, Donna, for starting this thread
