WE ARE SAFE & BLESSED!

To all who have called, THANK YOU! Know we are doing OK and we are all back home together!


The tornado as it approached our subdivision in Suffolk, aerial shots of the neighborhood......



















Photos from Suffolk & our neighborhood, Hillpoint Farms. (The Walgreens is right up from our house) This storm also tore through other areas of Suffolk. We are fine, our home is untouched, amazingly, and all our friends and neighbors are safe! There are NO reported fatalities, just minor injuries, and no one is missing. Praise God! Mike was at home and saw the tornado as it approached our subdivision. He had time to get to a bathroom with the dogs and wait 'til the storm passed and then he went out into the neighborhood to check on folks on the streets that were hit (about a block over)

God is in control and we are not!! Our God is an awesome God!! There are many families with amazing stories of the goodness of His grace and protection!

We wanted everyone to know we are OK and please continue to pray for all in Suffolk who are facing trying times as they approach clean-up and rebuilding. Pray for the Red Cross volunteers, emergency workers, police officers and all who are aiding in the effort to get these folks back on their feet. We so appreciate all who have put in hours and hours keeping our subdivision safe and taking care of our friends and neighbors!! God Bless all of you!!

So glad you and your family made it through the tornado ok. Kerri kept me posted on what was happening. The pictures are amazing. I'm so glad Kerri had good friends in Suffolk. No matter how old your kids are, you still worry about them!! Love and prayers, Marlene
