F3 Tornado Strikes Riegelwood, NC - 8 Dead and Counting

[tiffanypc05]

Not to far from my home, a tornado hit yesterday and has killed at least 8 people. They are still looking for more dead. So many people have lost there homes. I cried as I watched the news tonight when it showed christmas presents that were meant for a little 8 year old boy who's both his mom and dad were killed by the tornado. I ask that everyone prays for this community(Riegelwood) in North Carolina. They just posted info about the tornado on the news---it was a high end F-3 tornado that had winds up to 200 mph. It lasted for 1.8 miles and was 300 meters wide. This is very very very unusual for this part of the country.
