M&M - Tornado squashed 'em [updated]

[ Update: M&M are looking for people with chainsaws, wood chipper, and/or willing bodies to help clean up. Also looking for someone who can do body work and replace door on the squashed car. Please let me know if you can lend a had or know someone who can do auto work.  Thanks]

My friends M&M decided to buy their first house earlier this year. They found a fantastic foreclosed property, got the loan to buy it and some extras to fix-er-up. Walls and ceilings were re-rocked. New appliances for the kitchen. They moved in the first week of March.

I haven't been to the new house so I don't know exactly where it is; M and I only talked about the location once before they moved in. I didn't realize they were in the danger zone.

The tornado got their house yesterday. One giant tree on the house. One giant tree on a car. The roof was cracked open a branch blew into the house through a wall. M runs her business out of the house. M couldn't get to work today - they stayed at his dad's house last night. M&M+cats are looking for a hotel or something. They are under-insured as I understand.

M took all of the pictures. He's a freelance photographer.

This is not the walnut tree. This is a loose branch that came in horizontally through the wall on the second floor.

Please keep them kindly in your thoughts and 
in your prayers if you're into that kind of thing. 
Hug your people and your pets all the time.
