Last night a rare phenomenon occurred in Southwest Virginia. A tornado touched down in Pulaski County. The estimates range somewhere around 70 homes that were severely damaged/destroyed. Very few injuries have been reported.
Within the next few days we should see Disaster Relief response to the Pulaski/Draper area. Many of the families that were affected by the storm stayed at Pulaski Elementary School that was transitioned into an Emergency Shelter. According to Appalachian Power there were more than 4,600 customers without power.
We are asking for PBC Voice readers to pray for these families and workers over the next few days. Our church family was directly affected by last night's destruction. I hope to join the teams that will be on the ground this week. I pray that the recovery effort for these families & businesses will move quickly.
We give praise to God that there was no loss of life reported. He truly is a shelter in times of storm!!!
