Please pray for everyone involved. There has been a couple of massive tornadoes touch down in Canton. The reports that are coming right now are that it hit right in the area of the trade days... Canton has a first monday trade days which is world renowned and this is the first Monday weekend so they are there and had everything set up.. I have a friend who had a booth there. She was late but has friends running it for her and she is unable to reach them but was near enough she saw overturned campers etc!!!!

Please please pray for this city and everyone there!

Praying AG. I feel their pain. Our area has been hit so many times in the last few years that people have become gunshy of them!

My daughter is in Tyler, but I heard from her and she's ok. She was in a business place when they told everyone to take cover.

Just spoke with my brother, David, in Canton, Tx. He said several of our siblings
had heard the news and had called to check on him and his family. I didn't know
anything about it until I saw this thread as I hadn't listened to the news this
morning.

Anyway, he said there was a lot of firetrucks, etc. around the downtown area
and some overturned campers, etc., but he hadn't seen any serious damage where
he had driven around. It didn't touch his place. He was out washing his truck and
it had started raining a little but the sun had come out and he was going to finish it.

Thank the Lord for His Mighty Hand of Protection.

David pastors a home missions church in Canton.

Blessings,
