    This shows that a town isn't necessarily a group of businesses and homes. It's the people who make the town. My heart and prayers goes out to the families and friends who lost loved ones. I'm praying for everyone in this town including their pets.

    Words can't describe the sorrow I feel for these folks. Can't imagine loosing everything you have and possibly a loved one to a storm like that.

    Our love and prayers from Ontario Canada for you folks. Every life matters, especially in smaller communities.
  • Situations like this is why you should never be cold-hearted or mock others in their calamities. Today it might be me, but tomorrow it might be you. 🤕🤕🤕

  • Growing up in North Carolina, we'd hear of tornados and think, " at least we don't have to worry about that," but now, no one is safe from this kind of tragedy. A tornado went through here two weeks ago, but it was small and we were mostly lucky. One person did die. How does our country and our people recover, time and time again?

    I was 5 years old in 1974. An Alabama tornado hit our town. My dad put me in the trunk of the car. It was all he could think to do. That was a bad year. I'm 55 and live in the north east to get away from tornado Alley .I'm so sad about these storms and loss of life. Be grateful for what you have.

    My heart and prayers are with all from Greenfield, Iowa. Being a fellow Iowan through and through the hearts core. I now live in Seattle,Wa but I never forgot or forget how I was raised or where I come from ( Des Moines ). I’m lost for words watching everything that’s going on unfold on social media! Iowans are tough and resilient. You will rebuild, move on and push through it all! God bless you all and may the Lord have mercy and grace on us all! Love you Iowa! Stay strong!
