There Are No Words

This is so not teaching related but I wanted to share with my blogging friends some of the devastation that hit our state over the last 9-10 hours. I have never seen anything like this in my life, and it has really hit home…both my aunt and a family friend lost  their homes today. But they are still here. Thank God. Keep Alabama in your thoughts and prayers.

    I understand how you feel. We were hit a couple of weeks ago. Things will be okay. Just remember that things can be replaced. My thoughts are with you, your friends, and your family.

    Wow! That's just awful. Take care of your family and Alabamians. You really need each other in times like this. I'll do what I can from my part of the U.S.
