I am the one on crutches in the last shot, and ANYONE badmouthing fb or the work that this woman is doing to re-unite people with there treasured photos needs to just PRAY that they don't ever have to live through something like this themselves. I say, "Bless you!!" You are doing a special work. fb has been a lifeblood for me during this disaster, helping me be in touch with family/friends on the west coast who were WORRIED. Helping me post prayer requests, and see answers to those prayers.

There's still good people in this world.

Your Facebook page brought me here, which gives me the chance to say thank you for all of us who wanted to help, but were far away from this and were not around to recover lost things. You are SO the inspiration and restore more, my faith in people, that there ARE still others who care enough to act when help is needed! God Bless you, and Godspeed to all those in need of help, or who lost priceless items. Hugs to you xoxoxo

@mdsmemories yes i understand,it's not a tent you can set up whenever you feel it's a good place, my wondering was why all places in the us are inhabited,but i think you answered half of of this by saying its something new to america,wondering now if the scientist say it's gonna keep on for another 50 yrs would ppl still staying and the government will not do something about it ?.btw i heard about Missouri twister, guess 89 people were killed . sorry for your loss and thank you for your comment

@TeDuaMalakie The USA is a big place that's prone to natural disasters in many areas, whether it's earthquake fault lines, hurricanes on the coast etc. It's not possible for everybody to pack up and move to one region of the country just to avoid bad weather. This weather we've been having is record breaking, nothing like this has happened in 50 yrs or more.

@jblapoint Don't forget GA and TN also, the county where I live in TN had almost 300 homes destroyed and another few hundred with major and/or minor damage.

This is such an amazing story and such a blessing to those who lost everything and their pictures were recovered.. May God Bless and remember to keep Alabama, MO, and OK in your prayers!
