Sorry to see all the damage in my old hometown, especially Falls Park.  Very glad everyone is OK, as it could have been a lot worse.

It IS a mess!  Several large trees...GONE in the Park.  Several Homes have a great deal of damage.  Nobody hurt though.

School has been closed for two days.  You still are not allowed to drive in town.  It's a GREAT community though, people are rallying around one another and taking care of each other.

The tornadoes over the last week or so have been wicked!

What amazed me is that for all the people I know in Pendleton, and all the video coverage I saw that had people in it, I saw no one that I knew in any of it.

Law of Logical Argument - Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about.  ;)

"You've probably noticed that opinion pollsters go out of their way to include as many morons as possible in surveys ... I think it's dangerous to inform morons about what their fellow morons are thinking. It only reinforces their opinions. And the one thing worse than a moron with an opinion is lots of them." -- Scott Adams

In other words: Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.  ;)

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." -- Upton Sinclair

"Hitler is gone, but if the majority of our fellow citizens are more susceptible to the slogans of fear and race hatred than to those of peaceful accommodation and mutual respect among human beings, our political liberties remain at the mercy of any eloquent and unscrupulous demagogue." -- S. I. Hayakawa

That little town is growing by leaps and bounds....I used to go to the June Jamboree in Pendleton, and see several folks that I know...now days, I can walk through there and not see hardly anyone I know.....and the crowd is growing.

The population in 1972 was right at 2000, according to the sign under the city limit sign.  The town has grown.
