tornado relief

Some of you may have heard about the devastating tornado that hit, my hometown,  Harrisburg, IL on Wednesday (2/29).  The tornado had 170 mph winds. The destruction is devastating.  I took some pictures Wednesday afternoon while we were trying to salvage some of our old neighbor's belongings.  She lived next door to us for 26 years, and moved to this house last year.  She survived with minor injuries.  This is what's left of her house...

My grandparents (Mom Mom and Poppy) live right behind Mama Bear and lost part of their roof, some windows, and lots of trees.

We feel so lucky and thankful that all of our family and friends are okay.  Unfortunately, not every one was as lucky.  Please remember to pray for Harrisburg.  We need it.
