Most of you are aware of the devastation that has rocked the Southeast of the United States, led by an outbreak of ruthless tornadoes. Thousands of neighborhoods destroyed or without power, communities of homes destroyed - and hundreds of people departed.

We were informed recently that one of our most loyal members, Andrew, had his hometown caught in the middle of one of the storms. Rest assured, he and his family are, for the most part, completely fine. However, Andrew and the majority of his area are without power, and his only means of communication to us are through his phone.

Power could come back to him, his family, and his friends as early as tomorrow, or as late as - well, who knows. Regardless, we need to make sure that not only Andrew, but all those affected by the destruction, know that we care.

Please be sure to keep all the victims, no matter the severity of their situation, in your hearts and minds as you go about your lives in the days to come. We must all remember that there are people right now that are suffering, and deserve our thoughts and prayers just as anybody else does.

Best of luck to all those in the Southeast, and to those who have friends/family there. You aren't alone.
