Exclamation Tornado damage L.R.

My girlfriend's (Tonda) neighborhood got hit pretty hard last Friday with what officials are calling a EF1 Tornado.
However, with all the trees in her yard NOT A ONE was blown down except for a single limb.
There is damage all around her but the electric box did get ripped from the side of the house. This all happened at 2:00am April 15th.

Sadly a Mother and her son were killed two blocks south of where Tonda lives. However the 2 year old of this Mother was found safe and still asleep in her crib. Amazing !

Pray for EVERYONE across the south who has been affected by this storm.

Amazing story of survival but sad - tornados are something you don't want to mess with.

Here is a news report abou the damage and cleanup efforts with the
RED CROSS. This just happens to be Tonda's neighborhood.
Pause it at the house with a hole in it. It looks like it was sawed in half.

Wow! I'm glad he wasn't hurt.
All we're getting is a lot of rain up north and luckily nothing severe.
