    Hey guys please remember all us down this way in your prayers. My hometown was devastated by a tornado this evening. http://www.newschannel9.com/news/reports-1000662-ringgold-hit.html I had to get out and pick up my grandparents who got stuck out in it, and it is a nightmare. Luckily my family and myself all made it out safe and without any damage, but many in the area did not get that lucky. Thanks guys!

    Phillip, done. We had a tornado come through here last night and for the first time in my life we had a Tornado "seek shelter immediately" come through on the tv at 10:45pm. All my kids were asleep so we had to round em up and bring them to the basement. NOT fun.

    Prayers for your hometown.

    Prayers for that entire region, this year's weather has just been a nightmare. I can't imagine nearly 200 people killed by an outbreak of tornadoes as I don't think that's happen in recent history. That in and over itself brings to light just how bad that bunch of tornadoes must've been.

    God Bless those afffected....

    Good to see you guys made it through. When I came to work they were reporting 85 dead, 2 hours later it's up to 178.
    Prayers are out to you and everyone, both in the south and midwest. It's been a tough year for storms and I don't see it to be over yet.

    Man, what a morning... Fox is reporting 197 dead so far. There was a touch down in Quantico last night and Goochland county got hit and just about 20 folks killed in VA.

    This is nuts, glad you and the family made it out safe. Sadly I think there will be more since May is the peak tornado month.

    Glad you made it out GA, I cant imagine how scary that would be.

    That was one bad storm... We were under a warning, but thankfully all I lost was an Apple tree, I don't think anything touched down around here, but so many other places were devastated. Prayers sent to all of them...

    Wow, it really brings it home. Lots of warnings today in MD/VA, and I usually take it for granted. But you never know.

    Glad your ok, and family accounted for. I pray for the families that lost love ones.
