Thanks for the caring words. All GHC homes and families are fine. I am still
checking in with some of our host people and partners to make sure all is
well with them too. Some of the phone and power lines are still down and
several area school systems are closed today.
Our thoughts go out to our neighbors in Alabama and Mississippi too.

Subject: RE: Are you OK?
Thanks so much for checking on us. Columbus was extremely
lucky for most part and we are so glad that Amory was likewise
spared. Like many others, I'm waiting word on several relatives
and friends in Tuscaloosa and Birmingham, Al hard hit areas.
I'm sure every one in our New Harmonies family knows someone
affected by this widespread tragedy. I pray that we all have
reassuring news from friends and loved ones today.

Carol,
I just called our NH host site in Amory to check on them. They are OK, but
the town of Smithville (pop. 800), just northeast of them was all but blown
off the map, including numerous fatalities. Columbus, also in the general
vicinity, reports in OK.
Thanks for checking. Keep us/them in your prayers.
David

David,
We are hearing horrible stories about tornados in AL, MS, and GA. Are you
all okay?
