I have heard back from pepper Dave, he wrote,
"Yeah, one hit our property and tore up part of our horse shed and tore down the north wall of the barn and part of the barn roof. I stepped outside just in time to see it about 150 feet from the house, and ran to the storm cellar. It passed quickly, and fortunately, it didn't harm the house or the new shop.
More later...I'm kind of shell shocked"
But he is alive and well and has power so they will recover.

Thanks, all. Everything is fine, aside from the two structures. I've never seen a tornado before, and never had to hide in the "fraidy hole" before. The tornado was heading straight at me, and the house, and I ran straight for the shelter. I was SO relieved when the wind died down and I hadn't heard the crunching, rending sound of the house being ripped up.
Jimmy, I've got your number somewhere, but if you see this, pm your number and I'll give you a call.
Again, thank all of you for your concern, everyting will be alright with a little work.
