A Big Storm

     Saturday, April 16th, the big storm that has moved through Oklahoma, Alabama, etc. came through NC. However, we are extremely grateful to have been missed by its horrific force because so many others were not so fortunate! Yesterday in our state alone.....
     There are 22 reported dead and at least 130 injured. More than 450 homes were damaged or destroyed when there was 62 tornado touchdowns in at least 20 counties.  Huge commercial stores, such as Lowe's Hardware, were destroyed as well.
     We however only experienced strong winds and heavy rain while the main part of the storm missed us.(in some cases by 12 miles.) Tornadoes were seen that close, ( a couple streets down from our church) but never touched down.
