Phew, everyone is okay! Here is an e-mail from my mom:

Very lucky here. Lots of leaves and a few branches is all we got from the storm. It sounded bad (started around midnight and ended just before 2am). About 17,000 lost power but we didn't - imagine that!

A tornado just after midnight hit Camilla, GA (just above Thomasville). They are saying the tornado was 100 yards wide with a path 7 miles long. 6 people are dead, 2 children are missing.

Thomasville is just above Tallahassee, so I guess Camilla isn't too far from us. I'm surprised our house didn't lose power ... we live on a very weak power line that loses power with just a little wind!

Thanks for all the prayers and good thoughts! Now the prayers and thoughts are needed for the families who have lost loved ones.
