Tornadoes kill 32 across the South

[Marilyn]

:eek: :eek: Is everyone okay?????? What a scarey headline to wakeup to this morning. I'm really scared for all of you in the states affected. I'm praying that all of you and all of your families are safe this morning!!!! It sounds so very bad....please be okay.

[Marilyn]

The reports are getting worse, " Tornadoes that roared through parts of Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi killed at least 45 people and injured more than 100 others Tuesday night and early Wednesday, authorities said." from CNN.com 6:30 a.m. CST.

So horrible!!!! Worried about what they will find when daylight comes. :cry:

[Gina]

OMG! Marilyn I did not hear that yet.. I hope everyone is ok... sending prayers to all..

[judy]

It is so scary! I hope everyone is okay.

[Janet]

Okay everyone...start checking in...Angie? Are you guys okay? I know there was some damage in Tennesse.

[AngieDoogles]

My family and I are all on the other side of the state from where the damage was. I feel so bad for the people affected. :(

Thanks for checking up on us!

[judy]

Oh, thank goodness! I was just going to post looking for you!

[AngieDoogles]

Oh, thank goodness! I was just going to post looking for you!

I'm really sad because my very best friend has family in Memphis. There was a tornado about 15 minutes from one of her family member's school. Luckily, as far as we know, they are all safe. Hopefully we won't get any bad news as the day unfolds.

[judy]

This was a bad one! I hope you get good news only.

[Mandy]

Hmm.... i'm missing Sheryl, not seen her for 2 days, she is in Arkansas. I realize it's a huge place, and i'm not quite sure which places got hit, but i need some fingers crossing here, and hope she and her family are ok!

Oh no! I didn't realize she lived there. If you hear from her, please let us know! I'm so worried now... :(

[Marilyn]

glad you are ok Angie!! I too am worried about Sheryl. Does anyone have her phone number?

[Gina]

Glad that your ok Angie :) I was thinking about Sherly too .Mandy let us know if you hear from her...

We were lucky. When we heard the hail I grabbed my 2 Yorkies and we all headed for the bathtub but fortunately it went just to the east of us. Our friend (pastor) tried to get to his church but trees were everywhere. There was a lot of damage there. It's about 10 miles from here. I feel so bad for all those people who died and their loved ones. Hope you all are ok.

[Chandra Amaya]

I am glad everyone who has checked in is alright. I hope we hear from Sheryl.

I just found out about the tornados when I signed on the computer. We haven't had any news on today or the TV either. That's too bad that there was so much damage and loss of life. So many people get to where they don't take a tornado warning seriously but all it takes is that one time. My first thought went to Angie and her family and I'm glad to hear that they're all safe and sound.

Janc, I didn't realize that you were in TN too. It sounds like it came pretty close to you!!! I'm glad that it missed you because the damage from them is so horrible. I've heard that you have to throw almost everything away because of fiberglass getting into fabrics and stuff.

Sheryl lives in the northwest part of Arkansas and I'm sure that she's alright. I can give her a call if she doesn't show up in a couple of days.

[Marilyn]

Whew, sounds like everyone on here may be okay. What a relief!!! Sooo sad about all the loss of life and destruction. You just never know from one day to the next.

[Tink]

The total now is at 55 people killed; and 31 died in Tennessee alone.
How sad!
We're hearing now that the Chicago area is getting 16" of snow from the northern edge of the same storm. Much of the midwest is a mess weather wise. Fortunately for me, the worst of it is all several hours south of us.

Prayers going out for all who weren't so lucky.

[rivermom]

My heart really goes out to the families affected by this terrible storm.

We only lost power here awhile and all is ok. Thank you for your thoughts.
The tornado hit down in Atkins here a few hours away. So very sad. :(

[Janet]

It is so sad for all that were affected by the storms, but I am so thankful our 4WT family is okay.

[Gina]

It is so sad for all that were affected by the storms, but I am so thankful our 4WT family is okay.


AMEN!

You know, before I came to this site, it was hard to imagine how events affected different people all across the nation. 4wt really helps bring the reality and magnitude of these things home. I feel like, because of this site, America seems both smaller and larger...

Sorry for rambling.

I too am thankful that everyone here is alright.
