This is complete off subject of anything I've been going through but Saturday night North Carolina finally got hit with the storm sytem that had already ripped through 6 other states and it wasn't pretty.
We had actually just started leaving town when a tornado came through and destroyed about 30 homes in my old neighborhood, 10-15 more on base, and about 30 mobile homes in a park across the street. One of the local businesses was destroyed as well and countless more homes were damaged. News reports say there were anywhere from 4-7 fatalities in North Carolina, bringing the total death toll up to 21-25 across the 6 states affected.
It's crazy. Our old apartment complex was just minutes down the road from the Montclair subdivision and we just left there 3 weeks ago. They've closed off the second half of the main road and making people show proof that they live in the affected areas.
I want to help but I have no money to give, which is what the red cross is asking for. Sending prayers and good thoughts just doesn't seem enough right now. Not for a storm that is being called the worst in decades.
