My hands are still shaking from the massive tornadoes that ripped through our area yesterday evening. As daylight hits, we will really see all the destruction these storms left in their wake, and our hearts will break. If you are safe and your house is still in tack, say a prayer, because so many of our neighbors are not that lucky. Time to dust ourselves off and do what we can to help those in need.

We have been receiving numerous emails and facebook messages with information on how you can help the victims of yesterday's fatal tornadoes, and we wanted to be sure to pass it on. Please do what you can to help, because it takes a village to recover from devastation like this.
