No Answer

I woke up this morning to check my FB and find the news that a tornado hit my hometown yesterday evening. I can't get in touch with my mom and dad, power is out over most of the town, and I don't have anyone in the area who can go check on them. After talking with someone at the fire department, it's likely that they're okay. Though it swept across their side of town, most of the damage is located about 1/2 a mile south of their home. I'd just feel a lot better if I could just hear my mom's voice.

My prayers are with those friends I still have in the area whose home and businesses have been damaged, and I pray that there are no fatalities.

**Update: my parents made it through okay. I can't say the same for too many other parts of town.
