Tornadoes rip thru my area

Its been a hell of a night. Watching the news with the tornadoes rolling through my area.

The tornadoes hit the pond I run my R/C boats at destroying the township police department and the high school there- which my G/F went to.

Last night they told us two people died. One lady was running from a vehicle to get inside the police station and was sucked up and away. Another older lady was in her SUV. It was sucked up into the air and she was sucked out of the vehicle. Today they stated a man was in his bath tub. The house was leveled and the man unaccounted for.

My G/Fs parents watched the tornadoes wreak havoc. They have no basement like many people in that area due to the lime stone 1-2 feet below the soil.

Its been crazy today. My internet just came back online.

We had a close call while in Branson. Drove through a massive hail storm that caused tornado's in a town or two away!

We were supposed to go to a see the graduation of the G/F cousin today, but the school was destroyed.

Of course, my idiotic ex thinks its a smart idea to take our 9 year old daughter out to try and help. I do think its noble that my ex is out helping, but to take our 9 year old daughter into the debris fields, glass, nails, steel... And to hear they found a dead guy in a tree... And shes seeing all of this first hand in person. That I dont agree with.

Maybe she could just hand out water to the other volunteers? There's probably something she can do without being physically or emotionally scared for life!

That what she is doing.

However walking around all the debris (glass, nails, steel etc) can still get you injured.

Freaky. My nerves would be shot. I've been a block away from being hit. I didn't even know it was there.

I was out at my uncles shop when one hit a few hundred yards away. You couldn't see it (it was wrapped in rain) but you could hear the tree's snapping... it was freaky!
