I am originally from Jackson, TN. Union is closed for 2 weeks. This tornado was worse than the one that came in 2003. My parents live in North Jackson and 5 min from Union and there was a lot of damage there. My dad had JUST gotten home and could not get the garage open but the power was out and his car doors would not open...he was stuck in the driveway in his car and my mother could not get the front door open. (I'm sorry I gotta testify because I am so thankful right now). Here my dad is stuck in his car and the big tree in our yard which he was parked beside was uprooted from the ground....yet God kept my dad. The property fence dividers which are secured in cement were uprooted from the ground...yet God kept my dad in that car. The shingles and gutters are gone from our house but yet God kept my dad in that car.....the fence in the back yard are gone yet God kept my dad in the car and our house is STILL standing though the fire station down the street was flattened. My mom was standing at the front door trying to get it open to let my dad and couldn't. We have big windows all in the living room that didn't even break. All the car did was shake. I am so thankful right now; I'm crying just thinking about it. I told my dad that if you don't believe you have favor I hope last night was confirmation. The damage is pretty bad but I am thankful. Things are just that...and can be replaced. I'm just thankful for God's Mercy and Arms of Protection and I am praying all of Jackson, TN.

Sorry for the long post but it was on my heart...
