First let me tell you that we were very fortunate to have missed the flooding in Memphis. We visited Mud Island and now it is mostly underwater.
Today, we visited Cullman, AL and saw an entire block of the downtown destroyed by tornado (top photo). This one block area is only half a mile from where our son, Ryan, lived while serving as a Missionary. The middle photo is of a church about 3/4 of a mile away from where he lived in that town. It was really sad to see this devastation. We also visited the area where he served in Gardendale, AL and found similar destruction 2.5 miles from where he lived.
The bottom photo is of me standing on the steps of the State Capitol in Montgomery, AL. We retraced the last segment of the Civil Rights March that originated in Selma and ended here on the steps of the Capitol in 1965. If something like that were to happen today, I might like to be part of it. Richard
