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.

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.
