Oh gosh,

Just while I was coming back to CS I read there was a tornado in Iowa about 7 p.m. tonight that hit a Boy Scout Camp. They say at least 4 have died! My son is 13 and goes to Boy Scout Camp! My heart just aches for the parents of these children! I can't even imagine.

I will be saying many prayers for them.
 
OH WOW!!! I'm VERY involved with my DS's cub scout pack and our local BSA council. I'm sure we'll hear about it at our distric meeting tomorrow, but if not, thanks for the info so I can pass it along!

WOW! Thanks for the info. I have 2 sons both in scouts. 13 and 10. My oldest is going to camp next month. So scary to have that happen. My heart just aches for those families.

Same here, I was listening to the news while getting ready, and then it was mentioned again on the Mancow show this morning. How tragic, I am so proud of those boys who were able to act in the emergency by helping others in the disaster. Those kids are so brave, and I was so sorry to hear that there were fatalities and many other injured :(
 
My stomach sank when I heard the news this morning. They are all in my prayers.
 
Heartbreaking. Prayers sent.
