Well to let everyone know I am fine and I was not in the area where the tornadoes touched down in Western Massachusetts yesterday. I was in Holyoke where we just got some rain, hail and a little wind but nothing too severe. But in Springfield where my hotel is, the damage and pure destruction is unbelievable. There are tops of buildings ripped off, cars destroyed and probably worst of all families dismantled.
It is unbelievable the pure power of wind and rain, until it is knocking on your front door. We got a lot of work done yesterday, but the afternoon and evening kind of came to a stand still during and after the terrible storms plowed through Massachusetts. I was listening to the radio this morning during the car ride over to Holyoke and they were describing the scene outside the basketball hall of fame, which is in Springfield, as looking almost like a military camp. The person reporting from the Hall of Fame said there are military helicopters on the ground, personnel running around trying to get power back up, and continue searching for people in the rubble of buildings.
The destruction is shocking and I thank God that I was not in an area that was hit, but I pray for the people that were. For the families that were affected by losing homes, or loved ones, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family this day.
