Are you guys, Rob, Tom, Ray, etc ok? Anyone heard from them? Tornadoes hit early this morning in Caulfield, MO just southwest of West Plains and Alton. A 7 year old girl was killed. Just making sure you guys are ok.

That little girl and her family had just gotten in the truck to leave for school when the twister hit...they tried to run back to the trailer to get in the bath tub, but everything went bad. They released her 2 brothers (8 & 10) but her mother & father are in seperate hospitals in critical condition. The tornadoes went to the north and then south of us, with one of them pogo-ing over Thomasville (10 miles north) where my in-laws live...it as scary, as this all took place around 7am, and since we have the largest school district in the state (area-wise) lots and lots of kids get on the bus before 6am...imagine putting your kid on the bus, then leaving for work, and then hearing of a local tornado outbreak...the Fairview elementary school got hit, but thank goodness it was too early for the majority of folks to be there.
And I just now saw on the news where a high school in Alabama got rocked with several fatalaties...lots of prayers needed all over the country, folks...
