| today has been horribly destructive with winds and tornados. I live in Valdosta ga and the the storms coming through have been the worst I can remember I my lifetime. Several homes just 15 miles from me have been completely destroyed this afternoon. Several more are blown off foundations and several mobile homes overturned. Emergency workers can't find addresses because mailboxes are blown away. Trees are all over homes and streets and power lines down everywhere. Then it's just been torrential downpour for hours and we are now under a flood warning. A neighboring town already has homes flooding and in my county there is already 2 feet of water covering roadways in certain areas, 6-8 inches in others. The rain just won't stop! And there are winds of up to 60 miles an hour in these storms just continuing to wreck stuff. A local hospital also got hit and damaged by a tornado this morning. I feel like I'm in the twilight zone right now. My husband is a firefighter so I get to listen to his county emergency management radio and hear everything going on around me. Evening is starting to set in and I am getting wary and more nervous because then you can't see what's coming at you. The city is setting up command centers and red cross will be coming in to aid homeless people. This is crazy! My home is fine but my yard is a swamp and the rain is still coming down in sheets. Please keep my city, my home, and my family in your prayers. This seems so surreal and sooo sad! I feel numb right now. I feel a good cry wheling up now that the tornados are gone. | |

| It's okay to cry! It's not good to hold it in. Besides, you had a bad day today, what with your son's teacher and all. The photos on Yahoo news are very sad. It's hard not to cry for the people. And for you, it's hitting so close to home, I'm sure that is very scary. We had a hurricane scare when I was little; the neighbors came to sit with us, it was the most time a room that crowded ever spent silent for so long. It wasn't even awkward, we all just waited. Conversation or kids playing just wasn't necessary. | |

| I am so sorry and will certainly pray. The weather here was pretty frightening a few days ago and yet nothing compared to some other places. | |

| Oh I feel like crying with you. I am thankful you are all safe and your home is as well, family good I am assumming, I do feel the pain of all the homeless people in all the states. What about that little baby found out in a field alive but cridicle alongside her dead family. My heart is full of pain for them all. God will see the ones who are in need are taken care of and this may be compforting for the ones who open up to him, man I just am so alarmed at the amount in a single day. Glad you are okay. You are deserving a big hug for your sadness. | |

| Oh my goodness I had no idea that it was so bad, our tv did show a few pics from someone who had a camera phone, but other than that not really reported which is very unusual, we normall get full coverage.
Needless to say you are in my prayers, dreadful weather hope it soon recedes. | |
