Random Thoughts

It is early Friday morning and we have just eaten supper. Eldora needs some real healing on so many levels. I have not seen one vehicle in this town with a windshield you can see through yet. I am staying with some very gracious folks in a house built in 1887. The house, according to the owner, has 57 windows. 43 of them were blown out.
We spoke with a man today that described Sunday's horror to us...his wife was alone at their home when the storm came. Hail was softball sized and pelted the house. The hail became horizontal and came through every window on the west side of the home followed by gallons of rain. The wind blew out the windows in the rest of the home. Water was running 3" deep in the house.
See, the town really doesn't look horrible, but the damage was not hardly on the OUTSIDE. Almost every house had its windows blown out and every house was filled with water, glass and hail!
Tomorrow will be a long day, so I expect to Twitter but not blog until night fall.
Pray for these people. Pray for the team.
Good night. I have to be up in 4 hours.
