Significant progress in the clean up already. I thought it was a small earthquake. Glad everyones okay.

This happens far more frequently than we hear about

that’s a big old mess

Those log trucks can be so dangerous .. one log moves, the balance changes

Praying for the driver glad he's okay

Prayers to the driver but that is some final destination type of stuff right there

Prayers for all

Tammy Powell I see now why I couldn’t get through.😞

What company was this? My family has a truck like this

Sammi Renee 👀👀
