Another dark night.

Well it is another dark here in the Frost household. We have one phone line, and I have taken it over for this blog. Thankfully the laptop that Sam bought me is coming in handy. I have to stop every so often to charge the battery by the generator. We had to break down and get a generator today at Atwoods. Thankfully, they was open. We are use to a fan at night, the sound keeps us asleep. Last night we had no electricity, so that meant no fan. We were up all night with Aleeyah crying wondering if it was going to hit us again. Today, Averrie just keeps asking if the "dark" is coming back. I am having to reassure my children that life is safe. How do you do that when we have to drive through such devestation each time you go to town? Today, as we drove through the damage area, I was so happy to see Aleeyah and averrie asleep. I don't want them to see this stuff. To think that every storm is going to do this to the town. Sam got called to work tonight, to try to take care of some of the motors. They are trying to keep them dry, and tarp them. We all need to pray that they want to rebuild the motors plant. I just keep looking around and crying. I wonder what all these people will do. How will they rebuild? Did they have insurance? I have offered what i can and pray that I can help the best that my means will let me. You know, I don't really remember the tornado of "93" but they say this one was worse. I have never seen anything like this. To drive down a street that you have been living in and driving down that street all your life. Yet you don't know where your at!! To see people standing on the side of the road crying and trying to dig through their belongings tears my heart out. That could have been me and my family. Those first couple of hours when I could get no one that I knew on the phones, the feeling that my life was about to change. You know, tragedy's will bring out the best or worse in people. You know that Arkansans stick together through thick and thin, and they are proving to do the same this time. One thing, to you all in mena, we are to "love thy neighbor as thy self" please if you can find a way to help out please do!!
