I know we have some members down in the Kentucky tornado area. Here's hoping they're all right. Hope they will check in soon.

I've been watching this disaster unfold on TV, The storm seems to have hit several states and the Death Toll is unbelievably high with over 70 lives lost, and acres upon acres of property blown to "smithereens", likely the worst I have ever seen.
 Many, many good folks, along with their children and entire families,  won't be having a Christmas this year dues to this, and my heart just goes out to them.
I hope and pray we have not lost any of the Membership.
And, I also pray for the folks in Kentucky, Indiana, and Arkansas, I would like for each of you to join me in a moment of prayer for the many that have been lost.
   
 :pray:

It's the many things we don't do that totally sets us apart.

It’s hard to wrap my head around a WHOLE town just getting wiped out!  How do they rebuild from that? Multiply that by however many towns…these people are really in a hurt. I’m with ya Russ…the worst I’ve ever seen. :pray:

It was a very long night in the 911 dispatch center!  My county was spared, just wind and rain, a few trees down and a few power outages.  Tornados were spotted or touched down in surrounding counties.  Our EMS and Fire Depts were requested for assistance.
Lord, make my words as sweet as honey for tomorrow I may have to eat them.  Amen

Good to hear Bill. You were the one I was thinking about when I saw it on the news.
