If you are wondering if volunteers are needed in Tennessee...

I don't believe so yet. Though it sounds pretty bad around Nashville in the press this morning, here's the update I got this morning from Southern Baptist Disaster Relief. If I get more info, I'll post to servantsunite.blogspot.com

Storm System Sweeps Across the Central and Southern States

Storms over the weekend caused tornadoes and flooding in Tennessee, killing at least six. David Acres, Tennessee state disaster relief director, says, “The cities of Nashville and Lavergne, Tenn., have been declared disaster areas.” The American Red Cross (ARC) has opened shelters, but the shelter population has remained small. Acres says, “We have been in contact with ARC, and they have not needed a Tennessee disaster relief kitchen.” Tennessee Baptist Convention has also been in contact with emergency managers, and they stand ready to assist with debris removal or mudout of houses.

The storm system also left a path of destruction in Arkansas, Alabama, and Mississippi and was moving through Kentucky and Georgia late Sunday evening. One death was reported and a state of emergency declared in Arkansas. Three deaths were reported Sunday morning in Mississippi. Pray for Southern Baptist volunteers working to help their neighbors in these states. As daylight comes and the system continues to move east, many will be out assessing damage, running chainsaws, and cleaning up flooded homes.
