The folks in the Huntington area are following the developments in Athens. The tornado obviously did some major damage. Just wanted the Bobcat fans to know we're thinking of them and hope all are safe and well.
Looks as though lots of homes destroyed, power is out, reports that 8 or so taken to hospitals and others may be trapped in cars, homes, etc.

Certainly puts football into perspective - it doesn't count for much in the grand scheme of things. Good luck to those in the Athens Co. area.

Didn't hear about this-hope all are OK in the Athens area.

I wish I could say everyone is OK, but that's not the case. There was a touchdown on East State Street, though most of the damage was done in nearby The Plains.

Unbelievable. Hope Athens and Plains can recover quickly.
