Just a quick note, we are all okay from the horrible storms that ravaged Alabama yesterday. We did have one hit the county next to us, where they're still locating people and doing recovery there. This same storm caused us to go into our "safe spot" but nothing happened thank God. The weather was so weird...hot, muggy and nothing moving...so surreal.
That's Anna's head by the toilet, Mia and Duncan. The other two kitties were with Dog Dad and I in the tub.
Dog Dad and I watched in horror as the tornado hit Birmingham live. Our family is in and around the B'ham area, so we watched, guts wrenched and feeling completely helpless. Luckily, all our family, friends and family-critters are fine.
My mom and dad (Anna's Granny and Pawpaw) have debris in their yard from who knows where. But they have no damage. Dog Dad is from the Pleasant Grove area that was hit, but it seems everyone they know there is fine. And of course Tuscaloosa is a disaster area.
As the death toll rises, please keep all those affected in your prayers. I think the Red Cross is also taking donations.
Anna will be back tomorrow with her blog she teased about yesterday.

Frankie's MOM here... THANK GOD you are safe. We can not get in touch with my husband's Brother & his Wife... they live outside Blountsville... out in the country... On top of a HILL... We are really worried.
ReplyDeleteThis was such a LARGE area to be effected. Not just one or two states. No Real way to prepare.. like with a hurricane.
I have been watching the news all day... between trying to call the in-laws. The toll just keeps rising. It is just one more blow that this country has to deal with.
I pray for those who have been effected.
Oh, thank dog you're all OK. Thanks for posting!!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness all of you are okay. I have been worried sitting here watching the news and it looks so very heartbreaking. Thanks for taking the time to let everyone know you are all okay...that had to be nervewracking. We will continue to pray for all that have been hit or have friends and family that were in the disasters. Lots of love, Debbie and Holly

Thank you for letting us know! I'd been thinking about you and could hardly wait till I had a free moment to get on the computer and pull up blogger. So tragic for those affected. My heart aches for those who have had their normal lives completely erased. I can't get the story out of my mind about the rescuer who came upon an uprooted tree that still had a dog tied to it. The dog was alive, so the rescuer untied it and gave it to a family to care for. I keep thinking about that dog and what it must have gone through!! I hope it ends up with a loving family, if its own family can't be located.
ReplyDeleteWe're so glad that all of you are safe and sound too! Take care!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you were all okay! What a scary thing to go through.
ReplyDeleteI'mso relieved to hear you and yours are ok. We have family in Birmingham and Opelika but all were ok also. What a scary, intense experience as they described. Many hugs
