Mississippi Woman Diverts Tornado Through Prayer

When an EF 3 tornado (136-165 mph) hit near Magee, MS, early yesterday morning, the damage could have been catastrophic. Granted, at least 20 people were injured, and many homes were destroyed, but it could have been so much worse. Despite at least four tornadoes across the state, no fatalities were reported. With clean-up underway throughout the state and a state of emergency declared for nine counties, we are starting to learn that one woman just may have saved the day.

According to the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency, 185 homes were damaged in the storm. The fact that nobody seems to have died during this storm is clearly a miracle, and the Christian god is to be thanked. Never mind that this same god caused the storm or saw fit to destroy Corinth Baptist Church in Simpson County.

Fortunately, one woman made a difference, diverting the course of the storm through prayer. Apparently, the same god who caused the tornadoes in the first place was willing to do this woman's bidding in order to protect her loved ones.

More storms are predicted tonight. Stay safe.
