"EVANSVILLE, Ind. - Search teams focused on a pond full of wreckage Tuesday as they made sure there were no more victims of the huge tornado that smashed homes in the Ohio Valley while people were still asleep.
The twister killed at least 22 people as it slashed through Indiana and Kentucky early Sunday with wind estimated at more than 200 mph.
Crews on Tuesday were draining a pond near the Eastbrook Mobile Home Park, which was obliterated by the twister. Indiana officials said emergency sirens sounded twice before the tornado struck, but many in the mobile home park said they did not hear them." This is part of an article found at msnbc.com. For those of you who don't know early Sunday morning, around 2 am, a F3 tornado ripped through my hometown. There is almost total destruction in some areas and even now when i think of it tears come to my eyes. 22 lives were lost, and 200 injured, thousands of homes were wiped out. Almost everywhere you go there is someone who was effected by it, if not physically then emotionally. This was the deadliest tornado this year. I praise God for His protection, all of my family is alive and suffered no loss, if it would have shifted a quarter of a mile one of my sisters and her family would have been hit. But i don't want to focus on the negative. My purpose for this post is to ask for your prayers. Please pray for the victim's families and for those who lost homes. Pray for complete restoration emotionally and physically. It would be greatly appreciated.
