Tornados missed us!

Pretty wild weather the last couple days across the South. You probably have heard about the tornados in IL, IN, and KY. There were a few near Huntsville, AL also, but none within 150 mi of us, thank goodness.
On the map, we are south of Tupelo about 80 mi, and directly west of Birmingham, so it looks like we are really getting it, but it really was not much other than a few bursts of heavy rain. A few more gusts and rain last night, but it cleared off nicely this morning. We were getting Severe Weather alerts all through the day yesterday, but no events near us.
The mission has missionaries scattered across 3 states, and the President is very concerned about safety. There is a call-in procedure that allows him to know that everyone is OK, within 30 minutes of any designated time. No one hurt in the last event. We did have 2 elders in our district that live in a "vulnerable" place, so they took their sleeping bags and went to the Church and slept in the baptismal font! That is probably the safest place they could have been, as it is below ground and protected on the interior of the building, but turns out there was no danger. They will have a good story to tell.
More posts to come about our work, sorry, I have not been keeping up with everything on a timely basis.
