Update

We were able to get to my parent's house tonight.

They are so blessed!! They only have exterior damage, lost only one window, lost all of their trees, etc. But not one of the huge trees in their yard fell towards the house. Everything that fell or blew into their property fell parallel to the house -- front yard covered, back yard covered, but no one thing hit the house except for a 2x6 that went through their garage roof into the garage. They had probably 7 or 8 very old and huge trees in their yard and then another 7 or so 20 foot evergreens lining the driveway. Nothing is left except for one dogwood tree.

Their neighborhood is devastated. Houses on their street and on the street that runs parallel to their street are completely gone. The center of the tornado literally passed within 100 yards of their house -- at the very most.

Their electricity is back on tonight which is a huge praise. Their cars were spared. Little things that make it easier to get back to some normalcy. The police are protecting their street so they don't have to worry about looters.

Thanks for praying! Happy Easter!

Blessings,
Dori
