Tornado at Lac Sam

dagibbsJust talked to my mom last night -- they'd been at the cottage for a while cleaning things up. Last week while I was down in Florida not being bothered by hurricanes, a tornado went through Lac Sam (where my parents cottage is). My mom was saying that there are 15 (or so) big trees down on our lot, including a couple that landed on the deck; that the power mast to the house was knocked down (but is now fixed); but that the cottage is otherwise ok.
Wow.
I'm wondering how much different it is going to look -- taking out that many trees WILL change things.
