PTL (Praise The Lord)

As most of you know... The south was hit with a bunch of tornado's. All around us were tornado's and some lives. Thankfully were are all fine and do damage has been done. PTL. My granddad (aka.Grampy) came in on a flight on Wed. night. Momma left the house at 9:30 to go to the airport to pick him up. His plane had to divert to Augusta, GA to wait out the storm. Momma ended up sleeping in the back of the car till he came in to the ATL airport at 2:30 am. They headed home and didn't get home till 5:30am. They had some troubles on the way back though. They tried the regular route through Peachtree City (where church is- 30/45 min away) to get home but it was blocked by fallen trees. They got about 9 miles from home and were blocked by yet another tree. They went down one road and saw emergency vehicles and flashing lights. Apparently some guy had gone out to check on his neighbor and the tornado came right through were they were and they both were killed. They ended up having to cross some power lines that were to get home. The next day we went out to look at all the damage.  We went into the town of Griffin and there was a forklift warehouse that had gotten destroyed.There was much more that was damaged and we praise the Lord that we were not harmed:) Pray for the people that were harmed and had homes and even some family members. Here are some pictures that we took the morning after the tornado. Sorry, some of them are kinda bad, but I was in the backseat of the moving car trying to get pics. while we had to go so that we weren't in a car wreck. So it was either bad pics. or a wreck!!
