The Montgomery Advertiser Web site is reporting what looks like widespread destruction on the east side of Prattville, Ala. from an apparent tornado this afternoon.
The same system passed through here overnight with little to no known impact. In fact, ironically, it was sunny and warm here around the time Prattville - south and east of where we live in Mississippi - got slammed.
No deaths reported yet and that's what counts.
As most of you know, I grew up in and around Montgomery, Ala. Prattville is a northern suburb to Montgomery.
Lord, send your comfort and grace to those whose lives have been turned upside down today and help then follow your hand in their recovery. In Christ's Name, Amen.

Paul, thanks for your thoughts and prayers. I'm sure you know more people in Pville than just us, but I thought I'd let you know that we're well. We had a power outage for about 80 minutes, and no cable for 2 days. Hardly things to complain about when some people have lost their homes.
I'm glad to hear y'all are OK.
It always becomes more real when the pictures of destruction depict places a person knows. It is our prayer that Prattville pulls together as a community and is somehow much more connected after this.
