Please pray for our city. So much damage. Millions of dollars in damage. A 9 week old and her mom were killed. A mother and son were killed and many more injured. The devastation is unreal. All the stores around us are closed. Many w/out electricity and many are now coming home from work who will find out their home is gone. They need prayer. This serves as a reminder how precious life is and how quickly it can be gone.

Alive and Safe , Thousands Need Prayer
First, I want to thank God for protecting us through the tornadoes this afternoon. Georgia and I were running errands today and the weather changed pretty quickly. I turned the radio on and the reports were that a tornado was headed toward our part of town. The traffic was horrible and we were within 10 minutes of the first touchdown. God let us get home but as soon as we did the storm hit. We had so much hail and the wind was horrible. I took a few pictures and thought I would share them with you. When we went outside after the worst had passed us our hair stood straight up! Also, we saw many funnel clouds from our front porch but those did not touch down.

Thank YOU Father. I have literally cried tears for you praying for your safety as well as Dori's family.
Will continue to pray for your area.
Lovingly,
Yolanda
I have been praying for you guys. I was glad to see your post. I was just watching the National News covering your area. Glad you guys are safe.
Love ya,
Cecelia
Just got a call from a siesta and heard about your town. Oh my! Praying for you to be His Hands to so many. I was jogging (slowly
!) around our apt. complex and just ran up to the leasing office to tell them how much I loved living in this apartment having cancer cause it's so quiet and a respite (unbelieveable cause we are surrounded with college students)and they were clueless! I think of so many people you will show the immeasurable LOVE of the God Who so pours out of you! Psalm 50:2 CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR PRAYING FOR ME...WAS SO TOUCHED BY YOUR WORDS!
Oh, Patty - thank God you are OK. Been praying hard for you & Dori's family.
So glad you're safe and sound. Will be praying for your area.
I am so glad that you are safe and sound! I was worried!!!
Oh thank HEAVENS! I've been praying up a, er, storm over here! Pun not intended! :o)
SO THANKFUL you're okay!!
Big hugs,
Melinda
So glad you were safe....we had it last night and 2 touched down here within 10 miles of us.....sirens going off like crazy...my son and his wife live in a new subdivision and she is 7 months pregnant....They had to spend an hour in the bathtub with me on the cell phone giving them all the details coming over the TV.........a tornado went right over their house and not a tree down...Today was a beautiful day and now they are saying we may get more storms Sunday...So glad you are safe...
Well...I was a nervous wreck. NERVOUS WRECK.
"Thank you Jesus for protecting my family over there. I love them and couldn't imagine one more thing happening to them. Thank you Lord."
I'm still worked up though. ;)
Hugs,
Fran
Patty,
So worried about you all today. Tornado destroyed Mom and Dad's neighborhood. They have lots of damage, but they are safe. Houses two doors down are completely gone. So blessed to be safe, with a roof over their head and alive.
We are in Chattanooga. Staying the night at Dad's orders, but coming home tomorrow to help with clean up. Mom said it is a war zone in their neighborhood.
Love,
Dori
Praising God that you are safe!!! Will continue prayers for everyone in your neck of the woods.
I am so thankful you are safe. Have been praying for you this afternoon.

So glad you are all right. I just heard on our local news about the mother and infant who were killed. So sad. I pray many will be touched, comforted, and restored during this Easter weekend in spite of, and even more, because of, what happened today. How can anyone see the power of a storm and not realize the awesomeness of our God?
God bless you!
Marilyn
Been praying for you and Dori today and all the Siestas in the path of this storm.
So glad to hear you're okay and so sad to hear about others who've lost so much!
I'm praying that God will comfort all.
Praise God you all are okay. Will continue to pray for your friends, family & community.
Love,

Glad you and yours are okay. Praying for all of you in your area.
Just got back home from movie and dinner with family and told everyone I needed to run upstairs and check the computer to see if Patty was ok. Thank-you Lord, for hearing our prayers.
Praise the Lord! Praying for the families who lost family and homes in the storm.
Glad you and your family are safe,
Cassie
PRAISE the LORD you are OK!
I had no idea the tornados were heading to TN
I saw the news a few moments ago and realized they hit your area
I told Craig I needed to find out if you were OK!!
So VERY thankful God kept you all safe!
Much love
Kim

Patty - my friend - Praise God for your safety (and Georgia's too). I am so sorry for the devastation in your town. I pray that the glory of Easter and the promise and hope of the Resurrection will minister to those families who suffered loss. Life is precious indeed and the Word tell us that "life is but a vapor that appears for a little time, then vanishes away." James 4:14
Much love - take care,
Jan
