Airline by main street is fricked up. 18 wheeler blown over. Front of belle terre at airline has telephone poles down. No power. Back of Cambridge and the 2 new buildings on woodland drive by the water towers are mangled. I was at my office 200 yards away and didn't hear anything.

I have pics if someone wants to shoot me their email to post. I don't have a way to upload

Don't know specifically but areas off 51 were hit bad

Damage is really widespread...not many areas on the lake side of airline are going by unscathed

That was another thing we thought of afterwards. We always thought we would hear a whistling noise but nothing. We just figured it was due to the insane amount of road noise our trucks produce.
