I'm posting a link to WMC-TV. Their helicopter flew to Jackson and have taped live shots of the devastation in that area.

There's already a lot of video and pictures on this link too.

As I woke up this morning, I thought of all of you that lived in those areas that the storms hit last night. I logged on this morning and saw that everyone made it through last night and I was so very thankful.

I have been in a couple of tornadoes and I knew how frightening that experience was and I knew that God had his protective hand on me. Thank God that you were all protective by Him too.

Union University President is giving a press conference now (man in red jacket on the video screen). He said 40% of the dorms were destroyed - 40% heavily damaged.

No deaths at the University.

A true miracle.

I was praying for you all last night. Couldn't believe how many people died in these storms. I'm glad you all made it through and I will continue to pray for God to bring good from this.

Sherri, I thought about you guys and prayed for you last night when I heard about the tornadoes in Jackson. My brother and his wife both graduated from Union University in the late 80's.

According to radar on TV, a funnel cloud went right over my house last night! Mrs. Pianoman was pretty scared! (I was too! ha!)

I'm glad to hear that you're safe and the church is OK!

Sharon Baptist Church, which is about 10 miles from me, was destroyed. We had tornadoes coming from every direction last night.

Tabo called me this morning from school and said they were on their way to their basement. She said that her dorm is one of the only ones on their campus that has a basement. The sirens were going off in Cleveland because there was a tornado on the ground seven minutes from the school. Luckily they didn't have any damage at their school.

I got out at noon and finally drove by Union on the Bypass, but they will not let anyone get close. They are just now finally letting students back on campus, a few at a time to see what is left of their stuff and to see if their cars are driveable.

I just saw one of our UU students and she said she was in the dorm bathroom with it hit, but her dorm was one of the ones that was left standing. I took a picture as I went by, but I don't think it turned out; they won't let you slow down at all. I did take a picture of my bank in front of the University, and I'll try to post it later.

I tried to go by Lighthouse UPC from the other direction but the cops are diverting traffic and you can't get anywhere close.
