We were indeed fortunate. This is being reported as the worst tornado outbreak ever in this area. One did go straight through Raleigh, killing several people. The entire area of the state saw tornadoes and damage, and many counties saw fatalities. In some areas there is simply nothing left. Even power poles were ripped out of the ground and carried off - they are not down, just flat gone. Over 143,000 people are without power tonight. The infrastructure will have to be rebuilt before some of those people get power again.
Some people lost everything, including family members. We had no damage. We have power and dry beds, our cars are intact and not upside down in some tree or building. We have our lives and limbs. My heart goes out to all those who are not so fortunate.
