Massive Destruction

At 5:15 am yesterday morning we had 2 tornados touch ground in our neighborhood.  One touched down on my street, the other up the street.  I'm still so speechless, I don't even know the words to say to express the fear I had as I walked out my front door and witnessed a massive detruction such as this one. 

By the grace of god my family is unharmed, as well as the rest of my community.  Even though 32 homes need to be rebuilt.  So many of our friends & neighbors are suffering huge losses.  I can't thank those enough who called us continuously to check on us and offer any help needed.


This house was 3 houses down from ours, they lost their entire roof..it collapsed on them in bed but no one was harmed...its a miracle!
This house had the same thing, notice the garage is gone with the roof, they are lying in the forest behind the houses

This was walking up the stairs in our friends' house helping them get their kids' clothing, roof is completly gone


this was their kitchen entry...glass all over the floor

Their cars

This house was 2 houses down from me, total devastation!


This is my house! Someone was watching out for my family...thank you god!
Our backyard, the most of our damage...

I will never forget this day

  1. Wow. You are right, that is devastating. It's truly a miracle that no one was hurt. I am so glad God was watching over your family. He also knew that you would be the ones to be strong and help care for everyone else. Wish we could help. Love you guys!
