SEVERE WEATHER HITS HOPTOWN AGAIN!

Hopkinsville is kind of a small town, but you wouldn't know that by how often we're seen on the news for severe weather. Yesterday a friend of mine at work was telling me that the volunteer Rescue Team was holding a meeting to prepare for the bad weather we were expecting. At this time nothing was being said on local news stations, so obviously I was lost. She filled me in on how bad things were supposed to get over night and I was in shock! When I got off work, I picked up the baby and Dustin and went to the store to get Michael some snack food and batteries for our ONE flashlight in the house. For a while things seemed okay. We the weather did start getting bad, it seemed like everyone we knew was getting a piece of it. Our power was out for over 2 hours...Dustin's parents' power was out, his grandparents live on Princeton Road where they were hit pretty hard. My Mom and Step-dad live in Northern Christian County and were hit hard, my sister in Murray, and Dustin great Aunt in Big Sandy, TN....

See what I mean?

By God's Grace alone, everyone is okay and no one that we know of has any severe damage. I havn't talked to Dustin's Aunt Na-Na yet, but his grandmother was with her so I'm sure they're both okay.

I heard the fatality count was in the fourties this morning between Arkansas, Kentucky, and Tennessee...just keep praying for the families. I also heard the number of tornados was in the forties-a record number of "touchdowns" for one storm system. Count your blessings.
