Tornado Relief for Garland/Rowlett

 

This happened a few miles from where our troop members live. Our unit has sent volunteers to help the clean up and we are organizing aid to various units and locals.

 

I know we all support various causes so don't feel obliged to help out, but if you have the urge the info is above.

Thanks Krampus, I hope you and yours are okay.

 

Best wishes for the New Year.

In that area of town, and using that builder, those "mistakes" are well known. That's why those house go cheaper than most.

 

That said, not even the third little pig's house would have withstood the F4 winds that went through there.
