Oh Dorcas! There are no words. Happy you are OK, but saddened for all those who were not as lucky.
Horrible :( It is good to know you are okay but it has been devastating and many lost lives :( You are in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs from here.
Thank God you and your family are okay Dorcas x My thoughts too are with those who have suffered x
Oh my gosh Dorcas! *hugs to you, your family and friends* I am so glad you let us know you are ok.
Wow...so glad you are ok. My heart goes out to the families that have to go thru this.
They give me chills every time I see these. It is hard because we know some of these people, and it hit so close to home. Much closer to you though. I just sent you a pic of Sis Shaw's house.
Just saw that you already have it, sorry.
Hi
My heart goes out to all those affected. I'm so glad that you and your family are safe.
We had to evacuate our home last month because of Cyclone Yasi here in Queensland Australia. Thankfully our home was spared.
Kind regards

Mahoosive hugs for you my darling. xxx
I am so glad you are okay....we lived in NC a while back and had a tornado happen not to far from us then..it was so scary. I hope your friends are all okay too...
SIde happy note: I LOVVVVE your ducks!!! We have a family pet, Sir Francis Drake and he is the most hilarious little guy. :) We just had 12 ducklings hatch too...
I have been thinking about you a lot - although I have been very conspicuously absent from commenting. I'm not even going into that.
Is it very wrong to say that although I am horrified about what happened, I am still delighted that you and your family are OK and
safe?
Big Hugs

Wow, I guess I didn't realize how close that storm was to you all. How many homes were destroyed? So glad to see that Sister Shaw & her grandchildren came out without a scratch. Please give love & hugs to our brothers & sisters from the "badlands of Iowa".
WOW...we had two tornadoes go through my small town a week or more ago, and it was so scary. I've been through several storms, and few tornadoes, in my life, but I have always been lucky to make it through unscathed. I am happy to hear that none of your friends got hurt, and I wish them well on putting the pieces back together. I don't envy anyone having to do that.
