A few years ago a tornado tore through this village.
- The night before I heard the winds and the rain, however fell asleep in front of the TV and didn’t notice anything major happening.
The next afternoon I woke up and took the pet for a walk, at which point I saw that several houses on my street had been utterly destroyed. I could clearly see the path the twister had taken, and thankfully it had gone down the other side of the street, and not my side. It wasn’t until later that day when I went out in the backyard when I saw the smashed air conditioner. To be clear, it was not mine — I ran over to my air handler and found it none the worse for wear. In the middle of the yard was someone else’s air conditioner, and it looked love it had fallen from a fantastic height, and smashed to pieces on the ground! How deeply asleep was I that I didn’t hear this massive Heating, Ventilation, and A/C component plowing into my yard? It wasn’t until later I realized how fortunate I was, because that air conditioner was just 12 feet away from hitting my house! I am not a scientist, but I know that such a massive air conditioner coming down from such a height would legitimately tear through my roof and possibly kill whoever was under that roof! I would come to find out that the air conditioner belonged to a guy named Ed, who lived about three miles from me. I’m ecstatic the destruction wasn’t worse!
