Allen and Lisa Jordan said they can still smile even though their weekend home was ravaged by a storm because they are grateful for safety and the help of their friends and neighbors. The back porch where they are standing, was completely roofed and furnished before the storm, believed to be a microburst, ripped the roof away. LYNN HOBBS/Staff
Portions of the roof are suspended in the large oak tree in the Jordans’ front yard. LYNN HOBBS/Staff
It had all the makings of a perfect Saturday night until Mother Nature crashed the party.
Allen and Lisa Jordan and their friends, the Dunns, were enjoying dinner at a restaurant in Milledgeville, and then were planning a leisurely ride in the Jordans’ pontoon back to their house where they would sit around a fire in the yard and watch some college football.
