No injuries in our area that I know of from the storm. The poor owners of the crushed Buick got double whammied. Sitting right next to the Buick was also their Lincoln Town Car. Both were smashed like pancakes.

Ouch! I sure hope those people had full coverage on their cars! And that one house where the porch was taken off!!! 
Glad you guys are ok! We had severe t-storm warnings, but the bulk of the storm ended up going south of us and we just got some rain.

Saw some of the damage from the storm while doing errands and cleaning up our yard.
It topped out one of our large Maple trees. 6" to 8" branches. No damage done from it though. Luckily, I had let our dog Sheba in the house, just before it hit. Branches fell right in her run area. Still have a widowmaker hanging in the tree, not sure yet how I'll get it down, but I'll get it. Thinking some rope and my BRAT. Pull it down.
My 12X14 shed woundup in the fence row. Didn't damage it to bad. Got it flipped back down and straightened out.
We were lucky, compared to the damage I saw around here.
