I know that I said that I would tell about the tornado, but I don't really know what to say. It's like a war zone for about an eighty of a mile wide swath through the country side. Things that were there all of my life have vanished. It is a wonder that more people weren't killed. I was told that a lot of horses had to be put down because of injuries. The turkey houses just west of Marionville on ZZ are flat and the turkeys just disappeared, thousands of them vanished. Dogs just drop from the sky twenty miles from their homes. A lot of clean up has been done and there is a lot to go. People are living in tents and campers on their property because of looters.. Where we used to live if mostly untouched, but the top of the hill just South of it is stripped bare. The look in people's eyes is what hurts the most...they just look lost. We didn't go to Pierce City, but were told it has a terrible feel about it now. But, people from Missouri are tough and will bounce back. Many of the houses that lost roofs are repaired or being repaired; house and barn construction is well underway in many places. They just need your prayers. Pat,
