Tornado

North Carolina was hit with over 30 tornados this past Saturday evening. Our neighborhood was hit pretty hard. Luckily our house was fine, but some friends of ours can not say the same.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sP0HmgF-uM&feature=related

Many of the homes that were destroyed were deployed Marines. My heart is breaking for those families that have lost everything and also have their spouse gone to fight in the war. On top of that a storage facility that was destroyed held deployed Marines things and cars. It was completely leveled. How would it feel to come home from war and learn that everything you had is gone. Starting completely over. WOW seeing the destruction in person is horrifying. Our town has come together for the clean up and donations of clothing and other items have started. I'm sure it will take a long time to heal from this one.

We are lucky though, nobody was killed. One baby had to be life flighted to a nearby hospital from the military base housing because a wall fell on him. He is in critical condition. The same can not be said for Bertie County, NC. Many were killed there. One pour mother lost her two kids, and they had done everything they were told to do, but it still didn't help. Please keep these people in your prayers. They need all the comfort they can get right now.
