I'm currently watching CNN live coverage of the tornado damage in both Nashville, Tennessee and Atlanta, Georgia. Please keep in your thoughts and prayers all our BPNet members in these affected areas. Both Robin (rabernet) and Christie (tigerlily) are in those areas and I will be attempting to contact both of them today to confirm they, their families and their herp collections are safe (though phone lines/cell towers may well not be operational or overloaded).

I'm not sure who else from BPNet is in the path of these tornado's but please put them in your thoughts today as they may well need our community's help and support. The damage I saw on TV is stunning, scarey stuff. Coming from the north I've never seen major tornado damage personally so it always make me sick to my stomach to see this stuff happening to folks.
