Murfreesboro TN f3 tornado

[Tom Jones]

Hey guys,

If you heard about the F3 tonado that went through my town on Friday, we just got power back, and it missed us by about 100 yards or so. My wife and I watched it out our back window as the vortex of flying trash went by at the end of our dead end street. A 25 year old woman and her 9 week old daughter were killed in their van in their driveway. My wife worked with her and had been to her baby shower just weeks earlier. Lightning hit the house six houses down from us and blew the attic vent into the yard and caught the roof on fire, but a neighbor had a spare key as the owners weren't home. He put it out with five fire extinguishers from inside the attic. There is tens of millions of $ damage, but the Tennessee volunteer-ism is showing this weekend. The response from the community is overwhelming. This has been the fifht tornado I've been through and they don't get any easier, I can tell you for sure. Please pray for our city and it's citizens on this Easter day for us!

Thanks!

Tom Jones

Tom - Very glad you and the family are AOK and very sad to hear about the family down the street :-(



We had golf ball sized hail, heavy winds but luckily the tornados in GA were not that near to us.

I'm praying for you and your family Tom, along with your neighbors and that poor woman and child that were killed. In their own driveway? Man, that makes you really think just how vulnerable our lives really are..

God Bless all those affected and keep you all safe.

Not a subject that lends itself to levity, but that pic, Teri, make me think of the saying "when pigs (sic "hogs") fly!



(I can say that by the way, hog rider since '72)



God bless those with loss of family, friends, property.
