ETA: Rolling Fork, Silver city, Amory Never heard of any of those places in the Sip.

Amory is where Joe Burrow’s roots lie. His grandparents live there, and his dad is from Amory.

The images of Rollling Fork and the other affected areas are absolutely gut-wrenching. It’s hard to imagine how anyone survived given the complete destruction of some of those homes.

Our daughter (no pics) is in Starkville, and my husband and I have thought of retiring in that area one day. We like the slow pace up there and the proximity to a college town. One thing we are absolutely sure of is that we will have a tornado shelter on our property if we ever decide to relocate. We currently live on the Coast, and we rarely have destructive tornadoes down here. Tornadoes scare the shite out of me. It’s easy to get out of the way of a hurricane, but that’s not the case with tornadoes. My prayers go out to all those people, and I’m going to do what I can to contribute to relief efforts.
