Is everyone safe from the tornadoes and severe storms - hope everyone is safe and okay.

Hi CJ! We made it though the night! We are in Tennessee. We had one confirmed tornado come through the area and had to wait out the storms in a safe place due to possible others. We were fortunate. Only 2 homes were destroyed and no deaths. Another city had their downtown area demolished. I think so far the death count is at 10 people. It was a very bad nite.

Meloday, I'm so glad your safe. Our radio is reporting 32 deaths through the 3 States, so I pray everyone is safe.

What a horrible tragedy for so many. Mother Nature at her worst.

We had tornados all around us. Some as close as 15 miles where major damage was done. My aunt just lives a block where there was a lot of damage. She only had a few trees limbs down and no power. We were truly blessed that we only got some rain. I hope everyone else is doing okay.

My heart goes out to those who have lost family and friends due to the storms and tornadoes. For those who will be cleaning up and rebuilding, my wishes for them are of communities rallying around to help, and for healing in this time of pain.

I was also worried when I read this in the news... I also hope that all will go well for the reconstruction and that the people will get support.

My heart and prayers goes out to the victims and their families of the storms last night. I went through the '79 tornado that devastated our town with a F4 tornado and I remember how hard the aftermath and rebuilding was. I will keep all in my prayers.

 

[qponfanatic]

Kathy? Was your house destroyed back then?

 

[mylittle4]

I'm in MO and we are fine. The kids slept through it in while I stayed glued to the TV. Nothing came any closer than about 30 miles to us so we were lucky.

 

[qponfanatic]

I'm so glad that all of you who are from the storm hit areas are ok. Is there anyone else here at the Village from that area that we have not heard from???

Nothing came within about 40 miles of us, though it originally looked like it would. Stockton is another town where the downtown area is just gone. Battlefield was just about flattened as well. Now they're saying to look for more of the same today and the rest of the week. I don't think I'll be sleeping much this week, to say the least.

 

[mylittle4]

We are safe again. Missouri is not the place to live this spring. We had tornado activity all around us and we lost some trees and our drive is severly washed out, but we are lucky again.

I live in LEBANON, MO, We are okay here, but right next to us in camden county they lost 3 people in the first tornado. I hope this weather doeasnt stay around long.

We just got a little rain last night. I'm hoping we stay this safe the rest of the week.

We had minor damage, but the town just west of us got hit pretty good, luckily no fatalities. We are expected to get the bad weather again starting up tomorrow. Everyone stay safe.
