Update

Please keep everyone in your pryaers! There's no telling how long until power, water, phones -land & cell, etc. is restored. I have only been on my front and back porches and can tell it's bad. Kent went and checked the church campus. He did not go into buildings but from the surface it appears all is well other than several trees are down. Trent and Calah have a couple of trees down, too.

We live in a gated subdivision. Our entrance has flag poles and trees down as well as the homes through out the subdivision. The wind is still very strong so I know the damage is not finished. Redonia and a few other family members have gone exploring. Of course, Redonia has at least one camera with her. I'll post some pictures later.

A 10 year old boy from a nearby community lost his life as his father was attempting to clear some limbs prior to the storm. A limb fell sapparently striking him on the boy on the head. I can't even imagaine what this family must be feeling. The trauma of the storm was great enough besides this tremendous lost. Keep this family in prayer.

We have a grill and I'm certain we will fair well food wise. We have too many snacks! What a temptation! I must admit not having water or sewage is the largest inconvenience.

We will begin clean up efforts once the rain stops. Kent has a chain saw and I'm sure it will be used not only at our home, subdivision, church, or Trent's home but at the homes of others. In times like these everyone becomes family.
