We've checked in with our family in Dyersburg and Memphis, they are all okay.

We just found out that a new family from our church lost their house - completely destroyed. We are trying to find out more info now to see what we can do. We are also getting involved with the Red Cross relief that is being set up right across the street from us. This is just like what we went through a couple years ago, only much worse.

Union student's parents are coming in by the droves today to pick up their kids. The dorms look terrible! I feel sorry for the kids who are from overseas; there are a lot of international students there.

Thank the Lord everyone we know is safe. Zac called last night and said that one of his best friends (from Savannah) was talking to his grandpa on the phone when it went dead as the tornado hit. The grandpa was killed. So please pray for that family.

How tragic!

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.

Un-real.......

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.
