[WV Mountain Mama]

Prayers up. I have a recurring nightmare and a massive fear of tornadoes, especially when storms come in the middle of the night. When I stay at my parents house, I always go through a reminder of what needs to happen for my parents, me and the kids to get to the basement quickly while not assuming someone else is doing something.

Prayers that they can find survivors quickly and may the souls lost rest in peace.

I have a SIL (and her family) in Lakeland who hasn't spoken to us in years, but hope they are OK. I have no idea where that is exactly...

I have a tornado phobia as well, but have never lived anywhere that they occur with any frequency. I'd go back to EQ country first!

Adding my prayers to yours... the more images come out, the worse this looks, and it sounds as if the first report I heard when I woke ("FL thunderstorms kill an unknown number of people"..."significant casualties suspected") is still a possibility. :(
