I was just reading about the devistation in Yazoo County. Major tornado action. Can you give us an update?

I just spoke to him on the phone. He is fine, but the damage in Yazoo is bad. He confirmed four fatalities.
Please say a prayer for those affected, including those who are doing rescue and clean-up, like Dan.

I saw on another site that he posted yesterday, he said that everyone that we know up that way all survived. A prayer is sent to all that suffered form the storm

the storm came close enough to my house to draw all the moisture out of the air. i never got a drop of rain, but i saw lots of damage in yazoo city. its shocking how much force a storm like that brings

Thank God Gloria and Dan are ok. I was getting worried. Everyone should say a prayer. I heard the tornado moved from Vicksburg, Yazoo, and finally died out in Attala county. And it was three in one. Scary that so much damaged and lives were lost by a completely unexpected storm. I am so glad they are ok, though!.

Good morning Mississippi-Mud! We are fine, no damage to speak of. A mile or so from here is total devistation. One of our neighbors around the road was killed when her mobile home was blown off it's foundation. Amazingly her three children survived. Several of our close friends lost everything. Coroner Rickey Shivers was in his truck going down the road when the tornado threw his truck tumbling down the road, thank the man up stairs that he was not seriously injured. (He is the man that loans us the grill for all our rides.) Bubba Saxton "Saxtons Garage" lost his business as the shop and office are completely gone. (He has donaed to our site before) Jason White and his family lost every thing, as their house was demolished, he is one of our former Deputies. We have several Miss-Mud, and MSORC members working here in Yazoo helping with relief efforts. Tra, Rich, Wesley, Boyd and myself that I can think of. Several of the MSORC came to check on Gloria and myself, even bringing us water and a generator to use till the power could be restored. It is wonderful being a part of such great groups of people. Please continue to pray for our community as it will be weeks and even months before life starts getting back to normal for so many here.

dan im glad to hear you guys are ok

i just got off the phone with gloria and she gave me the news.

i will keep yall and everyone in my prayers.
