Heartbroken

 Not sure of the strength of it, but a massive tornado struck Arabi and the Lower 9th tonight.

First reports are not good:  a lot of homes lost, cars thrown about.  It just happened about an hour ago, 

so I'm just posting what I've seen.

My heart breaks for the Lower 9th and the pictures from Arabi remind me of Katrina damage.  Please - if you pray - please pray for all who lost this fight with mother nature.
