A desperate prayer to God, 'Please Help Us, Save Us,' just as Tornado ripped through

Thisyear is one of the most active tornado seasons ever; it continues to bring destruction to parts of the United States. There have been more than 300 confirmed tornados, and twisters have been spotted since early this year and they have killed 68 people, as the average is 70 people for the whole year.

The forecasters have predicted that it's not over just yet as another line of storms is now stretching out from the deep South to western New York, which has 30 million Americans on alert.

This deadly huge storm system that is currently driving through the middle of the state is the third storm in just a couple of weeks. The last storm to go through generated 14 reported tornados in a span of 36 hours... this included Iowa, Illinois and other states.

Meteorologists said that the EF2 tornado that had winds of up to 130 miles per hour touched down in southeastern Missouri, just before sunrise; it had killed at least 5 people.

The damage from the storm was extensive as it had destroyed at least 12 buildings and damaged many more.

Keith Lincoln, who is a Glen Allen, Missouri resident said, "And you could hear everything just banging on the house. You could hear trees popping and everything, so it was very scary."

Keith Lincoln had huddled in his bathtub with his wife as the tornado ripped through their home. Keith remembers their distressed prayer in the moment the tornado came through. He said, "Thanking my good Lord, 'Please help us.' My wife is praying, 'Save us. Save the house,' everything like that. And basically, He did."

The National Weather Service reported that the tornado had stayed on the ground for 15 minutes and it created a 20 mile path of destruction.

The Missouri Governor Mike Parson went to see the damage.

He said, "It's going to be weeks upon months to be able to recover. It's a long journey ahead for the people that live here."

The mayor of Louisville, Kentucky, said the tornado had killed one person there over night.

Reports are still coming in on the substantial damage. They include a house that was cut in two by a falling tree. The resident Judy Witt said that she did not hear the tree come down. She said, "We did not hear that tree fall, never did."

Operation Blessing is now on the ground there, doing what they do best, helping all the people, including the residents, volunteers, and workers, as they are ministering to them and feeding them. God bless them all.

The strong storms are heading east and they are expected to be severe.
