We were very lucky this past weekend.



If the tornado that hit Troy and Shelby would have come farther south, University Heights could have seen terrible damage and death. Today I rode past the damage along Troy from west of Madison to east of Keystone. Our neighbors to the north really got socked.



One of the best businesses that we have here on the southside, AMI Do-It-Best Hardware had considerable damage. I know the owners of AMI have done a lot to invest back into the Southside, along with supporting many charitable causes. Let's keep them in mind and hope they can get back on their feet very quickly.
