Tornado!!

Today was my family reunion.  Just about two hours drive away from home.

We are very glad we were gone.  A f2/f3 tornado has devastated our little town.  Where we get our groceries, bank, have family and friends, and where Jeff works.

Well, used to work.

The salt mine has been heavily damaged, and all the employees are out of work until further notice. 

We haven't heard any confirmation, but there was possibly some fatal injuries at the mine.  Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have been affected by this storm.

I did not take these pics, but this link was shared on FB:

We are very grateful that our house and everything here is fine.  We have no damage at all.
