Port Orchard homeowners looking toward future after last year's devastating tornado

PORT ORCHARD, Wash. -- The sense of peace soothed by the sounds of crickets is something new for Chris Raymond.

His family has been living at a home tucked behind trees in Belfair for the last three months.

“When we finally go out there, just the smile on our face was, I think, just answer enough,” he said. “We had a place to come back to that we could call home.”

It’s a home Raymond says cost his family every penny they had after a tornado ripped apart their old one in Port Orchard.

“The house is still there, and it`s still almost flat as a pancake,” Raymond said.

The rare tornado stormed through Raymond`s home and his neighborhood last December. Today, his house is barely standing as it sits on the city`s list of demolitions.

1. I see this neighborhood every time I go to the butcher shop

My favorite butcher has a shop right in the middle of that destruction zone. It's still pretty hammered, as many trees are still laying on the ground, waiting to be cut up. Stores still covered in plywood & tarps. Quite a mess.
