Tornado in Tupelo
May 8, 2008
Between our fence and our neighbor’s fence



4:02 PM update. We have been reminded today of the power of the media. Marlene’s brother Dale called from Montana and Harry Bollback carred from Florida because they had seen the report of the Tupelo tornado on TV. Plus we have gotten emails from various friends checking in. We’re happy to say that we are doing fine. Mark and Vanessa are fine also.
4:08 PM Mark and I went out this morning to take some pictures, which he then uploaded to iReport on the CNN website. He got a call from CNN to verify that he had in fact taken the pictures. You can view those pictures on the CNN website:
At the moment Mark’s pictures are listed on the CNN frontpage under the iReport section. He is also listed in the Latest News section under “Twister in Tupelo.”
