Several storms moved through last night in our Insurance coverage area, so it is a busy day ! I usually post the money, but today I am helping out the claims department (printing deck sheets on each policy and pulling the policy to go with them. It isnt a difficult job at all, I just hate when one of the policies is out of file, I HATE SEARCHING .
Speaking of the storm, while I was on my way home yesterday after work, I was headed to my moms to pick up Ashley and the wind was picking up , and since I drive a Honda Civic, it was pushing me around on the road a little bit. Anyway, I looked up to see some small limbs and branches flying around and all of a sudden a good size of plywood went flying in front of my car, I just misseed it, or should I say it just missed me. Kinda scared me. There are two routs to get to mom and dads, i Decided to take the route that I normally do not take, it goes by the church, and I thought that if anyone was there using it for shelter, that I might stop, even thought my mom and dad migtht already be there. No one was at the church so I headed on to moms, to find them standing on the front porch, they had been watching down toward the way I usually come in, because there was about 20 pieces of tin blowing all over, it came from the old Stephens Store building. Some of it had landed across a highline wire, and was making some sparks. (SURE WAS GLAD I WENT THE OTHER DIRECTION OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL THE TIN).
After the wind calmed I headed on the the house, taking the direction of the damage, just wanted to see what all it did. Tin was everywhere, and in several yard across from the store.
After arriving at home to tell my story, Steve was there with his own sotry, seems that he and one of his buddies were coming home about that time too, and had dodged a dead tree that fell across the road just about the time they were coming through. Then Kirtis called, and he was at my sisters house in Paragould, he was just calling to let us know that it was storming there...HA!
Well, I need to close, I am on phone duty for an hour, I dread it, because the phone has been ringing all morning.
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
