I hope my house is still standing, Tornado!

I moved about 30 miles away to a micro-farm leaving my split level subdivision home.
(picket fence, basement & heavily wooded lot)

It’s still unsold w/No Insurance!
(unoccupied homes in Ga are uninsurable)

The 11:00pm news showed my town & a market blown away from a tornado. My place is 1/8th mile away~.
BIG trees all around, ready to smash the roof in.

I’m sweating bullets with no Insurance & a $48,000.00 mortgage.
:frowning:

Adding insult, some 18 months ago a water line burst in the master bath.
The water bill showed 36,500~ gallons used!

Whoah… That’s terrible. Best wishes for a safe home.

Why? What is the point of that?

Well, if you are OK, I would tell them it’s now your weekend/seasonal home, put a table and sofa-bed in it, stay in it a couple/four nights a month depending on the season and insure it as occupied. As a buyer, I’d feel better about something like that than something seeming to not get attention.

I wish my son would do a similar move so I could build a barn (garage/apt). My wife rightly would never go for it for us to do alone.

Best of luck for short and hopefully not too long term.

I hope your home is okay!

Best of luck

got my fingers crossed for you! Hopefully things will be okay

Dude, that is horrible! Best of luck and please let us know ASAP whether it still stands in one piece or not. Definitely do what GottaZoom suggested. It sounds like great advice. ;)

I hope everything is OK with your home. I agree with GottaZoom, try to figure out a way to get it insured.

I hope your house is okay DrVette

DrVette, i hope everything’s ok… :~

Talked to my neighbor & my place was spared.

I rode the m/c 120~ mi today and many weren’t so lucky.
I saw an Explorer mangled in a field, farm machinery strewn like toys.
One fine historic home with a 4’ oak tree stuck through it.

A dozen or so giant cedars pulled from the ground with the 15’ root structure.

Power is still out from Alabama to Ga, many townships who didn’t make the news are running generators and tarping roofs.

Not many know a generator consumes massive fuel.
Just keeping a freezer & fridge going can cost 20+ gl of fuel daily!

The tree damage was odd, few trees less than 12” broken. Many 4’+ hardwood blown over and the true sign of a tornado, trees twisted apart 40’ up.

SE USA, the “new” tornado alley.
Someday it may be revealed that Climate Change or HAARP is the reason.

Nope, just backdraft from Scaru’s keyboarding into 20 BLF tabs at the same time…

Glad your place is OK. I’d think about GottaZoom’s suggestion because you might not be so fortunate next time.

Wow I was in Atlanta last night, didn’t realize things were that bad! Glad you and your house are ok.

glad to hear your house safe

Glad to know your home is ok

Wonderful news! So happy your place was spared. A damn shame about all the damage to your neighbors though. Nature can be powerful scary!

Says the one with leds in his eyes!!!

I dunno. When I moved in “03, my agent said the new home could be my ”summer-home”

Then in 07 they dropped me, “unoccupied”

It seems vacant houses have a habit of burning down.
I’m nowhere near “upside-down” with the mortgage, those are the ones that have accidents.

So glad your place was spared, and best wishes for your neighbors. I hope they manage to get their lives put back together.

You’re right about that area of the country being the new “tornado alley”. Unbelievable the weather systems that have blown through those parts in the past few years. Brace tight, because storm season is just barely getting started. Although from reading the news I gather that the weather is so crazy now that there’s basically not a single month where there’s no risk of severe weather. December, February, you name it.
