I am SO thankful that I left work early on Friday. If I hadn't I would've been stranded and probably would've lost my car, as it was parked in Carnegie, which was one of the hardest hit areas around here. 100% of the businesses there had damage or lost everything. Hundreds of people have lost everything.... very sad
Omigosh!!

One of the women who worked for us quit to help her husband build up his business - when he moved it to downtown Carnegie last summer.

We haven't been able to reach them, either at home or at the store. I could cry for them...

My brother & his wife helped a family from their church today - they said there's a line about 6' up on the wall where the water was. They're going to try to salvage the furniture, but Calvin said it's a lost cause. I have this feeling that the extra sofa that my mom has downstairs is about to find a new home.
