Keep the people of the South in your prayers
ENTERPRISE, Alabama (CNN) -- Tornadoes tore through southern Alabama Thursday killing at least 18 people, 15 at Enterprise High School, emergency officials said."Kids are walking around dazed, cut," said Laren Allgood, a reporter for the Enterprise Ledger.
"We ask that you continue to pray for our students," Bob Ferris, Assistant Superintendent, said at an evening news conference.
Evidently they were able to get the students into the hallways and into tornado positions as the twister struck. The school was demolished with the students being covered with debris. They've called in helicopters from Ft. Rucker to air lift the students out. At this point parents have no idea where their kids are or even if they are alive.
On a side note, I talked to my dad a few minutes ago. He's fine, the sirens went off and the weather channel said a tornado was within a few miles of his house. He's no worse for wear.

He's fine. The tornados passed about 2 milles from him and he went into storm protection mode, but luckily he's ok.
