Keith and Denise Ande salvaging from Tuesday storm
</element><element id="paragraph-1" type="body"><![CDATA[Throughout the county Wednesday people were sawing up trees in yards, some were picking up limbs, a rural Eldorado man was picking up debris from a barn roof that had blown in his yard and Denise Ande was picking up whatever she could from her mobile home that had rolled onto its roof.
Denise and Keith Ande's trailer is near the intersection of Dewey Road and Ande road about a mile north of the Eldorado city limit.
Ande was excited to find a photo of her son, Casey Bryan's, wedding in November.
"We've salvaged a lot of pictures, but there is not a whole bunch worth salvaging since it was a situation where it rained afterward. A lot of stuff is sopping wet. Thank God we weren't home," Ande said.
Ande's daughter-in-law, Jayda Bryan, wife of her son Parker, was inside the trailer pulling items out of the rubble.
Ande was in Eldorado when Tuesday night's storm passed. Her sister was visiting from California and the family was dining.
"My sisters and I got together to eat supper and I met my husband later on. We came home and pulled up in the driveway and found our house upside down. I told him, 'I think we're safe, our homestead is still good.' We pulled in. 'No, it's not,'" Ande said.
She and her husband, Keith, lived in the mobile home for 18 years and Ande said she never felt very secure there in a severe storm.
"I'm a pacer. I pace back and forth when storms come. A few times we went to his mother's house to stay," Ande said.
The two are staying there now, at Doris Ande's house, until they can move a new mobile home in.
Wednesday was a busy day at Ande Road with family, neighbors neighbors and friends pitching in with a trailer and backhoe to help the salvaging effort.
Ande began the morning with a significant find.
"When I came up this morning at six o-clock my husband and I found our Bible sitting out in the yard," Ande said.
She also found her name tag for her employer, Ferrell Hospital.
"I found my angel, not broken, and my grandpa's cross that he willed over to me and I salvaged it," Ande said.
Ande's cat experienced what must have been a traumatic ride inside the mobile home Tuesday night, but the creature appears to be physically healthy, if agitated.
"My cat is beside herself. She didn't know what was going on," Ande said.
