Fellow Patriots,

This has helped me put things in perspective for a second.

My parents' roof is gone off of the house, all of the windows on the backside are blown in. The garage has collapsed destroying all of their cars. And it is getting ready to start up again. Neighbors aren't doing great either. All of the roads around where they live are shut down and I'm 2 hours away. They're 70 years old and my mom has seen better days with her health and they're still in the house trying to take care of windows and I really want them to pack a suitcase and go to a neighbor's house and hole up for the rest of the night. Pray for their protection and God's mercy to be with the families in the neighborhood. Just heard a second ago that there are already 3 confirmed deaths in the county there and I'm not sure where they were located in relation. I'm heading up there in the morning to see what I can do. I'm afraid with no roof, and lots more rain, the ceilings will start caving in and we'll lose a lot of memories.

If you pray, please pray for my parents and those in the area. Please be sensitive and not turn this into a a/theological discussion.
 
I'm in KY.. what Co are they in? Some in E-town and some out east near Jamestown.
 
I'm in Henry County Tennesse, just south of Murray. Let me know if I can do anything. Union University in Jackson, TN got hit. No severe injuries there, but two confirmed deaths in Jackson.
 
I'm praying for your family!

I live in Clarksville, IN and our sirens keep going off.
 
prayer

I just said a prayer for them and everyone effected by the severe weather tonight. I am in Maryland but if there is anything I can do to help you or your parents than please let me know.
 
They're in Central City, KY in Muhlenberg County. Just got off the phone with them and our dining room ceiling has just collapsed. Told them to get out and get to a neighbors house.

Appreciate all of thoughts/prayers/concerns/willingness to help. I'm down in Nashville. More later.
 
We should all donate 5 dollars to help. crhoades you should set up a small fund project or something that we can donate too.

We need to help each other out when bad things like this happen.

I am going to bed in a little while and I will pray for your parents safety.
 
Really worried about them - just called the police there. Just got off the phone and now the living room ceiling has collapsed and they still haven't left yet. Told the police to send a car over and remove them. I understand though. They are watching everything that they know fall apart and are just trying to hang on but I'm afraid that they could be in a room that lets go.
 
get out

I am a certified Red Cross damage assessment agent... please call them back now and tell them that they are in danger and if they can safely get out of the structure that they should do so immediately. If it would help if I called them than please PM me the number and I will do my best to get them to leave.

Nice thinking. Its hard to leave things some-times. Still, it might actually be dangerous for them to just tromp outside right now. Down power-lines, hazards that are in unexpected places..ect. Most of the 'collapse' could be plaster and some wet insulation. I hope the light of day eases some of the concern.
