Scary weather!

The Facebook posts and pictures of yesterdays tornadoes in Emory, Canton and Mineola are very sad.  It's pretty scary when you live in McKinney and watch the news to see that the storms are headed straight to the small town that I grew up in (Emory in Rains County) and  that Mom and many relatives still live there!  She was texting me from the shower.  She and Bill were in there with her tablet, his book, pillows and blankets. There was a brief delay in her responses as I watched the news of it hitting there, but luckily they were okay. My niece, Morgan Johnson, was in a storm shelter in Sulphur Springs with 36 of her patients.  I've not heard of any deaths in Emory, but just read that there were 5 confirmed in Canton, and they are still searching.  A Dodge Chrysler Jeep dealership on I-20 was hit and there are pictures of new vehicles tossed around like a hot wheel, but they are mangled.  Saw one extended cab truck where the doors were peeled backwards. It is also "Canton Weekend" so there were a lot of people in that town that would not normally be there.

Say a prayer as they dig out of the rubble....  I will.
