Hello friends!

I'm reporting from a safe, secure spot at a nearby University where my brother is a coach -we decided to flee here yesterday morning and we are VERY GLAD we did. We are very blessed to be able to shelter in the athletic facilities here (showers, bathrooms, towels, etc) - we have an independent electrical power source here and we are still online..so we have air conditioning, lights, internet, ice, etc. Considering the early reports of widespread damage and 3 million people without power, we have it REAL good here...

From all the reports from our friends and family, everyone is safe...no one was hurt and everyone's property is faring well so far. THANK YOU LORD!! We have not heard yet from our neighbors about the state of our home and my parent's home next door - but we are believing for the best...

Because I have LOTs of time on my hands, I am keeping a detailed photo journal of our evacuee experience here...how we're sleeping, cooking, making do, and I will share those photos soon. Then later, as we are safely able to venture out, I will document whatever I see...no telling what we will encounter...

Your continued prayers are greatly appreciated - there is going to be quite a bit of work to do in the coming days, weeks and months to clean up, restore ad rebuild....

Thanks all - I'll check back in soon...

Hugs and blessings,
Becky
