this is so scary -- being hrs away from my daughter at school in Nashville. She thought the building she was in was pretty solid

when the alarms were going off. Girl this is serious!
I was heartbroken to see the pictures on the news of the destroyed dorms in Jackson, Tenn this morning. That's Union University - the only Christian school, my dd ended up applying to -- I loved that place. They have like 3,500 students there. Those dorms are destroyed - 2 entire buildings & there are 4 people living in each unit - one of the things dd liked about the school. Each unit included a full kitchen, bath, living room & then each roommate had their own very small bedroom. I can't imagine where they are going to house all those students!! They do have 3 sororities & 3 fraternities, and they have small houses, but nobody lives in them, they are at the edge of campus, maybe they'll let some folks move in there - but I guess they'll be on the floor.
It's all so horrid & here I am feeling bad for myself in Iowa & my 10 inches of heavy snow & no man to clear it for me

-- praying for all those affected by the storms & those who have lost loved ones. I heard it's up to 44.
