We are presently under a tornado warning. This afternoon one touched down about 30 miles from my house. It left a path 100 yds wide and 4 miles long. It totally destroyed about 20 homes, nothing left but the concrete slab. Cars were overturned and tress uprooted. It is not known if anyone was killed, but the news says if anyone was in one of those houses there is no hope for them. Please pray for these people. My supervisor at work lives in that area and had to leave rather quickly.

Yes, one hit on Pier 2 on the Navy base, that is where the aircraft carriers would be berthed. I can't believe the devastation I am seeing on the TV.
