Request prayers for my town that got hit had by an F3 tornado

[AerchAngel]

My town got hit by a tornado, one of the members that died is tied to my family. My dad watched the whole thing happened. It hit three areas, a few of my extended family lost some of their home a few got totally demolished. Dad said it has been hectic dealing with the governor and FEMA, but they are listening to him and promising him help. He also is getting angry with freeloaders and looters. The curfew is in place but people are somehow getting around them. He said, what good is it to pilfer a 50 inch TV that doesn't work? I had to laugh at that considering the situation.

He supposed to head out to California this weekend, but he might have to cancel his trip.

Yipes. Hope everyone is safe and getting the help they need.

He got the alarm out well before it touched down. This saved many lives considering the town of 1400 had about 1/5 of their dwellings destroyed.

Here is the estimates by FEMA. http://www.wpsdlocal6.com/news/local...232833741.html

You got it my friend!!!

When I did the math, about half of the town was affected. Thank goodness it didn't hit my parents house or I would have to take a lot of time off helping. I can't imagine those who grew up in their houses losing everything, it must be devastating. Something you won't go home too.

A tragedy. Glad your father was safe, though.
