Hunstville Alabama and all the surrounding areas are part of the 300,00 homes without power....

I live in Gadsden, AL. Storms hit ALL around me! MAJOR devastation! It is pitiful! Over 300 dead and more than that still missing. Thankfully my immediate family and friends are safe. Some of my mothers family on her husbands side lost everything. We are volunteering and donating and just giving what we can give.
Just continue to pray for this state!

I've been trying to follow the news about the flooding as much as I can but there just doesn't seem to be much of it.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43018935/ns/weather/

To me, this seems like such a huge deal and seems to be affecting such a huge chunk of the country that I'm a little shocked by the lack of attention being paid to it over here on the left coast.

Every time I read something about the levees and spillways and opening and closing of things and intentionally flooding areas and blowing shit up, all in the name of saving the cities, I can't help but wonder if this is just the big river's method of payback for trying to make it do something it didn't want to do in the first place.

ETA - Oh, and I started this whole post to say that I hope those of you in the affected areas are safe.

They are reporting that "virtually 75% of the town of Joplin is gone".

We are under a watch until 4am. More tornadoes up around the Fayetteville area as well.

Thank you for bumping this! I couldnt find it. I know it was on the Arkansas borderline at 8:45. The majority of the damage that I was aware of is Joplin Missouri. We live about an hour from there. My prayers for the families of the 24 known fatalities so far. They are still searching the ruble. It hit around 6:15 so you can only imagine how many families were in their homes. The neighborhood around the hospital is completely demolished.

The hospital had 5 minutes warning before being hit. They evacuated all of the patients however it is not known if the fatalities were from those in the hospital.

I have coworkers in that hospital so my prayers are going out that there were no coworker fatalities. So sad.

Minneapolis and parts of Kansas and Oklahoma were hit today too. If people from those places can check in too.
