    I hate to hear about the lives that were lost to these violent storms. Our hearts go out to all those affected.

    Our town in the Ark-La-Tex area was spared when the storms came through Tuesday, despite the fact that the NWS had painted a bullseye on us. Wish I could say the same for so many communities east of us.

    Revelations:

    6 Then I heard the noise of a huge crowd. It sounded like the roar of rushing waters and like loud thunder. The people were shouting,
    "Hallelujah!
    Our Lord God is the King who rules over all.
    7 Let us be joyful and glad!
    Let us give him glory!
    It is time for the Lamb's wedding.
    His bride has made herself ready.
    8 Fine linen, bright and clean,
    was given to her to wear."
    Fine linen stands for the right things that God's people do.


    Rushing Waters, Loud Thunder........Heed The Warning, Look For Salvation.......AMEN

    BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - The death toll from storms and tornadoes in Alabama rose to 128 people and 32 in Mississippi Thursday, officials said, taking the nationwide total to 183.

    Fierce storms obliterated large swaths of land from Mississippi to Georgia, wiping out homes and businesses, causing a nuclear power plant to use backup generators and even forcing the evacuation of a National Weather Service office.

    The weather system spread destruction from Texas to New York, where dozens of roads were flooded or washed out.

    The severe weather was continuing Thursday. The National Weather Service was issuing short-lived tornado warnings — advising people to "take cover now" — as the twisters formed.

    By early Thursday, these had been sent out for parts of New York, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Maryland and Florida.

    The NWS Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla., said it received 137 tornado reports around the region, including 66 in Alabama and 38 in Mississippi. The NWS also issued flash flood warnings for parts of New York, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Arkansas and Georgia , for Thursday morning.

    And it further warned of severe thunderstorms in parts of Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, South Carolinia, North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia.

    The states where fatalities were reported were:

    Alabama, where 128 people died, damage was spread over a wide area, officials said. "It looks like somebody came through with a huge ax and cut the top off of everything. Just a big blade through that whole area. That area is just total devastation," Tuscaloosa resident David Ikard was quoted as saying by Alabama Livemore. Mississippi, where 32 were killed, police officer Wade Sharp died

    I'd say the sun has about 5 billion years left-give or take a billion. Please show a little consideration to our friends who are undergoing a lot of difficulty and take your proselytizing to your own thread.

    Holy shit---295 confirmed dead now! Hurraines may swath a much wider path of destruction, but at least you usually get lots of warning as to when and where its goind to hit and you can hightail it out of there. Tornados can touch down any where and sometimes there is virtually no warning at all.

    Dinah----so glad to hear you're okay.
