Thoughts and Prayers for One of Our Members

Damn. Thats too bad. Mother nature can be pretty incredible at times. Best wishes to everyone affected.

Yea, I'm at NC State here, and all was fine in the southwest Raleigh/NC State area.

I saw over on HPJ about Ben. That's really sad, Ben. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. If you see this, and need anything, let me know. I'm not that far away and I will help in any way I can if you need something. I saw some of the pictures off Highway 50 in Benson/Four Oaks (near where Ben lives), and it looks really rough.

I also know Bob (tank_567) lives just east of Raleigh in Zebulon, and I know that there were some storms there as well. I don't have any personal contact information for him, but I haven't seen him post or anything this afternoon, so I hope and pray all is well over that way.

Alot of areas are torn up. There are some confirmed casualties also. My sister in law lives in downtown Raleigh and she said her neighborhood got destroyed. She had a tree fall onto and then into her house and it created a gas leak when it ripped through so they had to try and get through to get the gas shut off. Luckily they were ok. Alot of damage though.

If anybody lives in the area and needs help, even clean up, I have access to chain saws and would help where I can. I live in Clayton and luckily we just got strong winds and storms but no tornadoes...

Thoughts and prayers to those affected.

Prayers sent for Ben. I hope they recover as quickly as possible. He's been such a cool guy for such a long time here. That's horrible to hear about their property. Glad the family is ok, though.

Prayers sent for Bob as well. Hope you're doing well, buddy.

Thoughts and Prayers for Ben and everyone else. Wish I could do something to help...

All is well out this way, lost power for the night, no damage to the house. Hate to hear about Ben, prayers go out to him and his family..

My thoughts and prayers go out to Ben and his family as well. I don't know him like some of you guys do, but it's sad to hear when other people who are on here have such bad misfortune. Good luck with everything Ben!

That's awful... thoughts and prayers sent

God please be with our fellow brother and his family as well as the ones we hear and don't hear about, in Jesus name amen

Thoughts and prayers are for his family and his well being.

just wanted to post that me and my family are fine. we were VERY lucky to be alive. i actually was driving home from work and pulled up just as the winds hit. we lost our roof, all the trees in the yard, my shed was ruined and my 2 story barn was picked up and moved 40 feet away. we have had the support of some great friends and family over the past 2 days. they got all the trees out of the way yesterday and returned this morning and helped make our house livable again. we have tarps covering the roof, trees are all cut and removed and we are running a generator for power and teathering internet from my phone.

my house is repairable and only has around 10K in damages. my neighbors have it much worse. there are 4 brick homes including mine on my section of the road and two of them have trees inside the house. one trailer that was under 100 feet from my home was completely destroyed and the lady was inside when the storm hit. she survived but the trailer is nothing more than a flat floor now. it picked the whole thing up and moved it almost in my yard.

i have pics and a video from my area that i will post up soon. all 3 cars were damaged including the new 5.0 but insurance will cover it all. i have my wife and my 5 month old baby girl and that is all that matters.


thank you all for your prayers and support!!!!
