NC tornado damage in Sanford

The tornadoes of this weekend are past, but the devastation will not be gone for a very long time. It is a miracle that more were not killed. We were in Sanford this afternoon for an appointment and saw the Lowe's that was destroyed. Even being from the Midwest and having seen several tornadoes, I was shocked. Our neighbor was in the store when it was hit, and I am amazed that anyone, anyone, made it out. It looks like a mass of twisted metal and debris, as if a giant gathered it up and smushed it into a ball. Below are pictures from north of Sanford, where the damage was bad, also. In a neighborhood near these pictures, there were deaths, and the damage was horrible. Please pray for all who were hit by these storms and have lost so much. I just can't imagine what they are going through.
