DirecTV back on, so I'll stick with it, in my 100+ year-old 'farm' house! Back later!

And I happened to be on the road that night. I was stopped by a fire department roadblock, figured the wind and rain brought some trees down, so I immediately headed home - it wasn't until the next day that I heard the news that a tornado passed through! I've never heard of one before in this area...
