Voice of America News - U.S. emergency officials say at least 200 people have been killed in violent storms and tornadoes that have swept through the southern U.S. states in recent days. Alabama Governor Robert Bentley said Thursday the severe weather has killed 131 people in his state, and that he expects the death toll to rise.    The rest of the article here. Let us keep the families of those affected by these terrible storms in our prayers. |

We have experienced these storm systems here in AR. Our family has had some property damage, and many friends and family throughout the state have been effected slightly and greatly. There has been flooding, structural damage, annihilation of homes and vehicles. AR has had at least 40 deaths in the past month from these storms, but it is nothing compared to the devastation that Alabama experienced last night.
I implore everyone to pray for the people and the area, for those who have lost loved ones (especially), but also for those who have lost homes, property, security, and peace. Also pray that help and supplies can quickly reach those who have been most severely effected.

Bro Ben~
We are in central Alabama and we were spared any damage last night, but there is terrible devastation in tuscaloosa, north of Birmingham and Cullman, which got hit twice yesterday by 2 separate storms. They are saying this massive tornado was on the ground for 173 miles across AL, went into GA and then they think it may have gone into SC before it picked up and went back into the clouds. A terrifying night for those in the line of the storms. Please remember or state in your prayers.
In Him~
