Tornado Destruction! pray for our MFP friends

Also hope that our MFP friends in the path of those south and midwest tornadoes are safe. Thinking of you...:flowerforyou:

Praying for all those affected, whether on MFP or not.

It's just awful. The worst of the devastation happened just a few miles north of where I am. As terrible as this may sound, I'm kinda used to seeing those kinds of images on television. While it's always heart-breaking, when it is right in your own backyard...it strikes a different place in your heart. I am so thankful that we were spared. If it had tracked just a few miles further south, it could have been me and my family. I will say this...the people around here are ready to lend a hand in any capacity. Probably about an hour after it was over, the news stations were being bombarded with phone calls from people wanting to know how they could help. They spent a great deal of time emphasizing for people NOT to go right away and let the emergency crews do what they need to do first. While it's all devastating and tragic, it's also heart-warming to see the compassion and kindness being shown.
