Dear, I couldn't even imagine. I was out of the loop news wise until I caught your blip this morning. My heart goes out to you guys. Hope everything settles down and gives you some relief. Like I said, my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteIncredible destruction. It sickens the soul. Doubling up on the prayers.
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable, isn't it? My heart goes out to the people who were so desperately touched with the devastation. Thanks, guys.

Wow -- look at those images. Amazing how quickly Mother Nature can take us down. I'm sorry for the individuals who are suffering from this, but I'm glad you're fine, Marie. Your poem says it all -- I love how you laid it out, and it reads really well out loud. http://lindagoin.com/
