Will you please post this in breaking news? There have been confirmed touchdowns and damage and there will be more. Thank you.
I had it in breaking news, and the mods took it out ... they’ve just now placed it back in ... thank you ...
Just heard from my friend. Her family is OK. They were in the storm shelter. It passed over their house or near it but no damage. Even the horse made it through!
Praise God! Continued prayers for others!
Prayers up for your friend and her child Penelope. Scary situation. I’m sure they are in a safe place right now waiting out the storm.
Prayers for everyone in this monster’s path.
Wonderful news. Thanks! Being an animal lover, I’m happy the horse made it through too.:)
wow, thanks for the update!
Just heard from her. They made it through in the storm shelter. No damage to their house. Her brother and other family in town are OK too. They are being called in to do emergency work. She works for the State and her husband is a volunteer firefighter.
Prayers up for others!

They are OK(praise God). I figured she would get in the shelter if she had time. We were in a mudslide years ago together that killed two people in Natchez Mississippi..so neither of us messes with mother nature. We know better.
That must be it...Someone or something is to blame...LOL
She is bound to have some friends affected though as she has lived in Yazoo City all of her life. I am headed up there week after next. It’s gonna be sad. I hope the chemical plant didn’t get hit. Does anyone know? That could make a bad situation worse.
