David Rayner is accounted for. Apparently half of Milan has been severely damaged/destroyed. I'm sure he is busy with S & R right now. Many prayers and positive thoughts needed for EVERYONE being affected by the severe tornado outbreak.

[brunota2003]

I saw a post on fb that Dave is okay? But seems half the town of Milan is gone, and not sure if cell towers are working...is that correct?

EDIT: Thanks vb for confirming that. Hope everyone is okay there.

Oh man! Just catching up from earlier today. Turned on the news and geez oh man.

I'm praying right along with you.

If you need help with something, yell.
