I was (and still am) in Knoxville, tn, i had 5 people call me last night and say tornados hit my town real bad, i could'nt get hold of my wife, in-laws, sis-in-law, or anyone i knew, turns out my wife and daughter were about 10 miles away when it hit, they're fine, my sis in law saw them coming, got in the car and hauled ass to her friend's house that has a storm shelter (and sells storm shelters, ironically), got in their shelter and heard her house blow away. She said between last night and this morning, she has a waiting list for 65 storm shelters. I know of at least 6 houses within 2 miles of mine that are gone, the church i got married in is gone. Our house is fine, my family's house is fine, but my niece's friend who is 11 got killed along with her mom and dad. The mom was cut in half, they found half in the house and the other half in a ditch a mile and a half away from the house, the 11 year old had all her limbs ripped off, they found the legs and one arm, still have'nt found her other arm. Sucks major ass, i really feel for the people who got stuck in it and i hate to say it but i'm glad my family and most everyone we know is ok. Keep us in your prayers.
I'm out the door here at 7am, i should be home by 4:30 or 5, i'll pitch in if i can to help clean up or look for peeps or whatever, i'll let yall know more when i find out first hand.
Holy Crap!! Thats horrible, thoughts and prayers going out to all the families and friends who have lost loved ones and for all the people that have lost all their belongings. Let us know if you need anything!!
