Can you believe this? Tornada destroys most of my town!

Just to let all my blogging friends know!

My family and I are all okay! Our computer shop is about 3 or 4 miles away, so no damage. We live in Nashville MO, which is about 26 miles away from the Tornado and didn't even know that it happened until a couple hours afterwards.

My Michaels store manage and 3 associates have lost their homes, but their families are safe except for one associates parents. (full details are not known).

Joann's is totally gone along with several 1000's of businesses, the high school and a major Hospital. They are saying there is currently 116 dead with tons missing and around 20,000 without homes. Approximately 25% of the town is destroyed.

Here is some video pictures if interested in looking, it has made National news so you can follow on Face Book and the Internet. Just Google Joplin MO Tornado!

Thanks for your concern and help us pray for all the victims still being searched for!
