She said they have somewhere to stay if they can get the car out. Lots of chainsaws and stuff in the background and she couldn't talk long. I told her we would help in any way we can once she knows what she needs. And btw the new bathroom took probably the least damage except all the glass blew out.

Omg! What can we do????

I don't think she even knows yet what she needs.

Those of us who must stand on the sidelines and feel frustrated at our inability to the help those who are in need, we should remember that often even our prayers are helpful.
DG is alive and well. Houses can be rebuilt. People can't.
Thanks a lot, God.

did they ever sell the love shack?

The American Red Cross comes to mind. The storms this month have been quite numerous and destructive and there must be thousands who are in need of help including Bambi and Tim.

Dixiegal,

When you get to a point where you can use direct aid, start a thread for us who want to help.

Ralph

P.S. This isn't charity. Just trying to help a friend through a great pain.

poohbear_nc · 04-27-2011, 09:32 PM

Betty - the cells are heading directly toward Atlanta - take cover!

poohbear_nc · 04-27-2011, 09:44 PM

DG & Tim are so lucky to be alive - just heard a report that Alabama locations are requesting "mass casualty trailers" be brought in - there are so many fatalities being verified.

DixieGal · 04-27-2011, 09:48 PM

We are in thecar trying to get to his brother house. Trees blocking rd. One of our neighbors dead. Nothing left. We are OK and have ins, so don't worry. Our neigjbors house is in our hpuse.

That is horrible! My thoughts go out to you and all affected.

We can't find a gas station with power. I took lots of pics. It drove a board thru e closet door before the closet caved in on us. Wind 140 mph!!!
