I hate to say this but I am glad they are getting them and not us, I dont think I could stand another claim on my insurance policy this year because of one.

I hope there were no casualties and everyone is doing okay!!

Apparently I spoke too soon we are supposed to be getting some later on tonight into early tomorrow morning. It has warmed up to almost 80* here and that is not good at all!

I know one of my nephews and his wife, 3 yr old and 3 mo old twins spent some time under their stairs today. The tornado swerved and was 1 mile away from their house. I guess it went pretty close to another nephew's house and I haven't heard from him yet.

Just heard from my sister. They didn't have any damage. They had debris from 3 blocks away in their yard. At least everyone is safe.

We were under a tornado here in Clark county Mo. until 9 o'clock. It's 10:55 p.m now so guess it's past. I hate the bad storms as we live in a mobile home with no place to go. I pray that God will keep us safe.

We live in Oklahoma and live in a mobile home too... the year after we bought the house, FEMA awarded OKlahoma grant money to give to people who qualified to have storm shelters put in. We were blessed to have qualified and got all but $400 of the price. DH's mother gifted up with the balance. We have used it three times.... So very thankful for it...
Even if you have to take out a loan, I would purchase one.

prayers going out to every one to stay safe..

SueDor 05-23-2011 03:50 AM

Stay safe everyone!

These tornadoes surely do define the word DISASTER! My prayers for with everyone up there.

Our daughter lives only 1 mile from where the Alabama tornadoes went through her town. THANKFULLY loss of life was limited. But I am sending daughter a few lap and baby quilts to give out to folks.

Prayers which are always needed, and my quilts are the only thing I can personally do right now.

FOLKS? Find a large local church in that area and send funds. Churches are all help/cleanup by volunteer work. Our funds will go directly to the people in that area, and fast too.
