A Day of Storms

This has been a day of storms that started at 5:30 am for us......We had an embedded tornado in our town that did a lot of damage in our area......it hit the historical district where we lived when we first moved back to Alabama.......we rented this house until right before the yr was out......our landlord hit hard times and lost this house in order to keep the house his family are living in....so we had to move........I really loved this house even though it had some problems.....it was built in 1900 and she was a grand lady in her day.....she did need quiet a bit of work as she had foundation issues.....but with some tlc she could have been a show place.....below is pics of what she looked like this morning after the storm was over.....

 Windows out and more structural damage done from this storm......the tree fell on the master bedroom, foyer and living room and the attic apartment.......such a shame that this grand lady is now stricken and more damaged than before.....the foundation has shifted again which will probably cause her to be torn down.....sad when I think about it......we now live about one and a half miles from here......we did not have any damage which I know that God alone took care of us.....the section the above house is in is so damaged......many old trees and houses are now gone or will have to be torn down.....another section of town was hit hard with some fatalities........two schools were hit.......we are just now coming out of the storms.......my sister and bil had damage to their home late this evening in the second wave of storms......they live 11 miles from me in a beautiful valley and a tornado came through around 6pm......my grandparents house which is empty is totaled out also....its not far from my sisters house.....today has been very emotional for everyone in Alabama......so far the death toll is at 57 and they expect it to rise by morning......Please pray for all those who lost homes, and loved ones........there is a family of five with major injuries that are trapped in their house where my sister lives......please pray for them that they are extracted soon and treated......injuries include a broken back, a broken leg, a post through ones chest and the other two have similar injuries......they are having to be cut out of the home......My prayer for tonight is that the storm will die out without anymore damage.......
