Last night a small Iowa town got destroyed. The small town of Parkersburg, IA got hit with a F5 tornado and at least 7 lifes have been taken and they think about 70-80 injuried. We have some really close friends (The ones we got ATVing with), the best man in their wedding lives there. Early this morning they picked them up. They came back to our friends house got a little bit of sleep. At about 8 they called our house asking if they could use our trailer. Of coarse we said yes. They said that all the gravel roads are closed and you can't get into the town without a wristband on. Everyone had to be out of the town at 8 tonight because of people stealing things. Which I don't understand why anyone would do that because these people have already lost almost everything. They were one of the only lucky ones... There house was one of the only houses still standing. Grantite it did shift off the fondation but they are thankful and everyone is safe. Just pray for all of the people that have lost friends and family and the people missing to be found.

I am gathering a team of people to go and help anyone who was impacted by the disaster. I would rather NOT go through the typical disaster relief organizations. We are looking for a specific family or business that needs our help. Can you give me the number of your friend? They may know of someone who needs our help. They may know of a camping site near by where we would stay. My email is jschmedding@savantstudios.com
