Tornado in Murfreesboro

We had a devastating tornado hit our city in middle Tennessee on Friday afternoon, leaving a mother and her infant daughter dead, and seven people critically injured, as well as over 100 homes totally destroyed. Though it was a tragedy, we are so relieved the casualties were not greater than it was seeing as it was Good Friday and kids were off of school and a lot of people had work off. It was a large tornado that left a 15 mile trail of damage on the north side of town. Our city has over 100,000 people in it, so it could have been worse. My family and I had left town for an appointment in Nashville about 30 minutes before the tornado hit and the ironic thing is we took the exit out of town that is right where the tornado hit shortly after we left and looking at the damage that is there now you wouldn't believe it was the same place. Coming back into town took quiet a while because traffic was bad with overturned semi trucks and cars and a major overpass being closed. We are just so grateful that we as well as everyone else we know in Murfreesboro is safe, although some people in our church have lost their homes. Camera crews (even reporters from national news broadcasts such as the Today Show) have been here interviewing people who survived and amazingly all the people who have lost their material possessions are optomisic because they are alive and their families are alive. I think that is a great message that brings hope to a lot of people. By the way, this is the second tornado to hit our city in the past couple weeks. The first hit a shopping plaza in the center of town sending three people to the hospital.
