Thankful

Days like today make me so thankful.  Talked with Mike/Janice yesterday.  They are all ok.  The storm was very close to where they live.  The only thing that was damaged was her car.  I waited to hear from friends I worked with and finally got the last call this morning from Emily.  She worked for me for 6 years.  There house is very damaged, but her family is safe.  She had 2 german shepard dogs that survived the storm outside. She posted pic's of her street and there is nothing left except 1/2 of her house.  Jennifer who was my assistant lives in the country and the tornado was headed directly to her farm.  It turned 1 mile from her house, so she and her horses are fine.  So many brethren live in that area, but I believe everyone is ok.  Some of their homes are badly damaged but no lives lost.  Kat and Creston got calls/texts from friends reassuring them that they were ok.  So glad I live in the beautiful state of Washington.
