What a night we had! Terrible storms came through Memphis last night and hit many areas within the city. We are happy to report that Sam, Lilly and I were safe and sound in our house watching the news from our bedroom closet as the tornados came through the Memphis area. We didn't have any damage in our immediate area but many places in the city weren't so lucky. There were several offices and warehouses that were hit within blocks of our office complex. Our offices are closed today due to power outages and damage to the buildings in the complex. We drove out to the office a little while ago so I could get my laptop. (I didn't realize I would need it today!) We were shocked by the damage in the area. It is going to take quite a while for everything to be repaired. Sam's building sustained quite a bit of damage. My building looked pretty good and it was currently up on generators. I don't know when we will go back into work. We feel very blessed that we were not at work when the storms hit (thanks to Sam for being overly cautious and making me go home early) and that we were safe and sound in our home.

Here are some pictures one of Sam's coworkers took of the area around our offices:

Leaving our complex...there use to be a stop light here and a guard tower across the street.
