Lea & I are here in Panama City..we just arrived late today... when I got a text from a friend who is a Fire Investigator in Suffolk to call her.....I call and she tells me a tornado just hit my neighborhood....she has another fire Marshall making their way to my house to check on my mom....while I'm on the phone with her, Lea is calling my house....can't get through at first....can't describe that feeling...until we heard her voice...

The Tornado touched down right on my street and then headed over to Billybass' neighborhood....needless to say we were frantic until we could get through on the cell and hear that she and all our babies were ok.....we then start calling Bill, Sandra and others...can't tell you how hard it was until we were able to talk to everyone hear they were ok...

A fire Lt's wife was trapped in their home when we talked..I still have not heard how she is....

I talked to one of my detective buddies....all police and fire have been called in to work...neighboring fire and police are all on their way to help....my detective buddy described to me what he was seeing as we talked....unbelievable...hard to take it all in...

This picture was taken on Rt 58 at the Rt 10 exit... for those of you that know the area....it had just passed through our areas....


House in neighborhood where Bill lives...all this area has been evacuated to high school on my street...


this shopping center just opened...brand new businesses next to Obici Hospital...gone...

Please say a prayer for all involved...those that were hurt, lost their homes, businesses....

and to all those that will now come in and help in these devastated areas.....
