My heart goes out to those affected by yesterday’s tornadoes, especially those in Alabama. Our family members are fine, as far as we are aware, and we haven’t yet heard anything negative from our friends. Viewing the damage, it is truly heartbreaking. Our oldest was born in Cullman in northern Alabama and we lived in Birmingham more recently. In fact, the massive tornado associated with Tuscaloosa and Birmingham narrowly avoided the house of the Orthodox priest there. Dear friends of ours live in Tuscaloosa. [We’ve just found out the friends in Tuscaloosa are ok – the tornado went between their houses.]

Lord have mercy!
[update: Friends of ours in Huntsville were hit but no one was hurt, glory to God!]
I told the kids about the tornado and they were so scared. I assured them that such things do not happen in our area.
As for the Orthodox priest – Psalm 90, 7

It looks like we're going to surpass the number of fatalities that were in the super outbreak of 1974 when 320 died. I think they're at 300 now. Lord have mercy!
