There was a 50+ vehicle accident on I-4 in Polk County, Florida. According to the news report on TV approximately 20 of those vehicles were semi trucks. as of now 3 people have been confirmed dead and 7 people have been rushed to hospitals. They said fog and smoke is making it all the more difficult to check all of the cars and get help to those in need.
Please keep all of these people, both those in the accident, the rescue team, and the families of those involved in your thoughts and prayers. Today is a very sad and scary day for all of them.
I hope we'll hear from Valerie soon, she lives in Polk county, though I don't know how close to the accident and I don't know if she has to take I-4 to work. Also she works at a police station so she may be able to give more information and updates on this sad situation.

I miss you
Glad you're safe! 
I've been checking back to hear from you val and
