Hello to all. I would humbly like to ask each and every one of you to pray for the people of Greensburg, Kansas. If you have not heard, the town of Greensburg took a major hit from a tornado shortly before 10 pm Friday (5/4/07) night. The majority of the town has damage, with the west side completely leveled. Downtown was hit hard, with complete destruction of businesses, and residential areas. Their schools, fire/police station, and hospital were all severely damaged as well.
My sister's brother-in-law lives in Greensburg. He lost everything he owns: his home, clothes, both vehicles - all gone. The thing he does have, is his life. We feel very blessed that the tornado spared his life. Others were not as fortunate. The entire county (Kiowa), where Greensburg is located, has been designated as a national disaster.
The only thing I ask of my fellow Lotters, is your prayers. Please pray for the residents of Greensburg. For the families that have lost friends and loved ones. And for the fine folks that lost their lives. Thank you! Hugs.

Thank you TheWuzz for the slides! They are, um... undescribible. I can't even put into words how it makes me feel seeing the horrific destruction. Have you heard that the Greensburg tornado was an F5? Two hundred plus miles per hour winds.... I can't even imagine. By the way, where do you live? I live by Cheney. Hugs.

I have heard about this and lifted up a prayer for them all. I will continue to pray and especially for your family. This is a very sad situation. Keep trusting and believing in God for cares for you. He will turn this situation around for the better.
