Helpless

I just found out a little while ago that my sister, Erin's house was obliterated by a torando. It is gone. They are all safe and were in their storm cellar, but I feel so helpless. My sister is 35 weeks pregnant and she is a really high risk pregnancy and none of their family is there to help them.

HOLY COW! Is there any way we can help from here? Where will they go, what will they do? Keep me posted.

Last I heard they were in their front yard waiting for ward members to come and pick them up. there is a lot of debris and it could be a while. They have insurance and will be fine. It is just hard being out here and helpless. Thank goodness for the church. It was more just traumatic for their 7 and 9 year old. thanks for your concern.

That is terrible! She was in my moms ward before they moved, and my mom just adores her. I hope they will be okay! Let her know she will be in our prayers.

Rachel said...

We will pray for her and remind her to just remember "everything will be alright!" right?!
It was so much fun talking to you, thanks!
two great nights in a row! :)

This made me so sick to my stomache. I was relieved when you said that they are all alright. But still it's just terrible. They will be in our prayers.

I'm so sorry, that just gives me the chills especially since I live where tornado's touch down quite often. Where does she live? I'm glad they are okay!

how horrible! i can't imagine how devastating that would be. I'm glad your sister and her family weren't harmed.

Jamie said...

How scary!! I'm glad that they are ok! Thats all that matters!

Amy Jones said...

I'm with everyone else...anything we can do? That is seriously one of my nightmares!

lets all pitch in and get the family or your sister to your place until the baby arrives. Im sure enough ten,twenty dollar donations would add up fast. Just look at the people willing on your blog.
Keep us informed. Our orayers certainly go out to them.

Oh Natelli, I am so sorry!!! That is absolutely terrible. I remember feeling so helpless when tordadoo season came. That picture above is so sad. I feel for her and hope things can get to normal soon, especially with the baby coming.
