Could it be a Dream?

I am waiting to wake up like Dorothy did, surrounded by family saying you just bumped your head and the twister wasn't that bad.

But it wasn't a dream.

This is real.

My Southeast.  Ripped apart by swirling winds.  Reports of over 150 tornadoes.

My little area is safe and intact.

Others, not so lucky.

194 confirmed dead in 5 states.

 These images are from Tuscaloosa, Alabama.  Home of the University of Alabama.  The hardest hit area.  Total devastation.

 Here is video of the monster storm. You can hear the sirens, watch the tornado grow, see transformers blown, debris swirled around the massive twister, and hear the prayers of the photographer.

But through all of this, God is there.  With all of the devastation around it, the cross and linens still stand intact as a reminder of God's ever presence.  He will carry the South through this.

My heart is broken for those who have lost everything.  Please, if nothing else, consider donating to the Red Cross here.

Pray for not just Tuscaloosa, but the entire Southeast.
