I dont have time to read the forum but I'm so sorry for who all was affected by all the tornadoes. Im posting from a friends place as we have no power. My house wasnt hit thank God but the rest of my families were destroyed. It came through thursday morning around 1:20 and just wiped everything out. All the homes, businesses, tree, everything is gone. I type this with a tears as its just so hard for me comprehend. Never thought anything like this would hit here in the mountains but I was wrong.
You see this type of stuff on TV and thank how aweful it must be but until you live it its just mind boggling. I dont know the total death count but I know I lost a cousin and his wife punctured a lung and pretty much broke every bone in her body but she is still with us. We have no power and want for weeks. Both of my Uncles houses are gone. All there buildings, barns, livestock are gone. I went out at 2am and checked on them and started to cut trees out of the road after I saw everyone was fine but shakened cause I had to walk over a mile to get to them due to fallen trees and powerlines. I worked till dark cutting trees and moving supplies. My family decided to sleep in and lay around till this evening to gather there thoughts.
I went home and got some shut eye myself. I woke at 5 am on my own so decided to get a quick hunt in to clear my head. I was home by 9 a.m. with a bird. It felt good but I still felt the sadness over me as I started to head home. Please pray for my family and everyone else who has been affected by all this devastation and I will do the same for yall. God bless and I will try to get back in touch in a few days

I have been wondering how you were. My wife's family made it through OK. They have been helping out neighbors and friends ever since. The videos we have seen on you tube are unbelievable. Our thought and prayers are with you all in Glade. - Cliff

Turkeyslayer,
I am TRULY sorry and my Prayers go out to all of the tornado victims especially to you guys in Glade Springs. I graduated from Chilhowie High and live in Eastern NC now and my son got hit here on the 16th of April when the first round came through. Your right, you see it on TV but when it's in your backyard, you get a whole different Perspective.
Congrats on getting a bird and hopefully getting your mind off the devastation, for a short time.
Again, My Prayers are with (you all)!!!!
Ron

Please keep us posted. My sister finally got in touch with my cousin near Greenville Tn and everything near them was destroyed except my Aunt's homeplace and my cousin's home. Although some trees near the house fell on it, no real damage was done. However away from their homes everything is destroyed or just gone.
I'm glad you an your household are OK.

Thanks for all the prayers! We've done what we can do for now. Got my families stuff moved and they are trying to decide if they want to build back in the same spot or move somewhere else. One bad thing is FEMA said they were not going to help :character0029:
It's hard to fathom that level of destruction and the sheer volume of people affected.
Prayers for all of them and you and your family. :cross2:
