A Call From Alabama

I received a call from Deborah; a friend in Tuscaloosa, this morning. We worked together at the Tuscaloosa Veterans Hospital 3 years ago. We sometimes make it a point to check on one another every now and then; especially after the the recent tornado. She reports that Tuscaloosa has a collective group of people who apparently have developed PTSD since the devastating tornado. Deborah works at the Tuscaloosa Veterans Hospital. They were meeting in a conference with a large window that provided an almost panoramic view of the sky. She recalled how that at one moment during the meeting while she was instructing the group, the sky became black as the weather rapidly began changing. Within a matter of seconds it became apparent to her that everyones gaze was fixated on the blackening sky. She understood the stress in the room and ceased from teaching.

Tuscaloosa has scars that will last for a lifetime.

I continually pray for them all.

Have a good day.
