I received a call just before 6:30 am from Andy's Mom, Beverly, saying that a tree had just fallen on Andy and Gloria's house. She was shaken up and I ran down the stairs and out the door not even stopping to put shoes on. Together we called Andy and told him of the news. He is still in Atlanta and we hated to wake him up early when rest is so needed and today would be a full day for him without having to drive home to Chattanooga to survey the damage.
My husband and also my neighbor, Robbie, came to help move Kayb's things out of the closet (she had just finished unpacking last night). The house has some major damage as the tree was one of the largest in St. Elmo. It is amazing how on one side of a wall the tree is down and on the other side a bookcase is untouched and that room looks fine.
Please pray for all the family. It will be more than difficult to have to deal with yet another thing. Beverly cannot get out of her driveway because of the tree.
Pray for Kayb who is staying at the Mendonsa's taking care of the dogs.
