Hello all!
We survived...thank goodness. To those of you who may not know..our town was hit with a tornado last Sunday. We live approximately a mile from ground zero...I actually heard it come over our home..very scary. Fortunately nobody was killed but our town was hit really hard. I believe the last estimate was around 800 homes destroyed or damaged. We were spared..no damage. But when I drive through the hardest hit part each day I'm astonished at how we could have not been hit. It's just unvelievable...the devastation..the windows blown out...a sonic just torn to pieces..a car wash in rubble..a walmart that's closed because the insides are sucked out from the force of the tornado. God is the only reason nobody was killed because those places were busy with people and yet everyone is alive. Work has been crazy since Sunday...covering all the damaged areas from south and west al including our town. I'll write more when I have time and have had more rest.
To all our family and friends...we love you and miss you. Hope to see you all soon.
J and B
