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?
