Tornadoes

Tomorrow, two friends and I are driving from New Orleans to Tennessee for the Country Music Marathon in Nashville.  In case you haven't heard, much of the region we'll be driving through has recently been devastated by tornadoes which left a trail of destruction behind them.  I'm not sure what we'll see on the way, but the news coverage is sobering.  This video, I think, does a great job of portraying the devastation.  Please keep the communities who've been hit in your thoughts & prayers this week.
