Tornados in NC

Derek called this afternoon to let me know that their apartment complex had been hit by one of the many tornados that went through North Carolina today. He said that they were in the living room, heard it coming, and crawled to the bathroom. He sent pictures of the damage to their apartment...a large hole going from outside through their bedroom wall (a chunk of the dry wall is embedded in another wall). Their patio was ripped apart, and the trees behind the apartment were down and/or snapped in half. Some of Amanda and Derek's car and truck windows were broken. Based on the videos I've seen of the widespread damage that occurred, they were lucky. Fayetteville has been declared a disaster area and, since they're without power, Derek said his boss told them they could stay at the cabins at Fort Bragg. Will keep you posted!
