Severe weather is still wrecking havoc in several states across the U.S.
Destructive tornados, torrential rains and strong winds have crashed once again across parts of the South on May 9, leaving many to fear what will be left after it is over.
But some residents are attesting that prayer has gotten them through the worst of it.
As of May 8 and 9, about 220 million people were under some sort of severe weather risk.
Retired Pastor Walter Shell testified that he and his wife grabbed their two dogs and headed for the basement when his phone alerted him to a tornado in his area in Tennessee.
“It missed where me and my wife were standing by about about 4 inches. It went around,” he said. “It pays to pray, I can tell you.”
Since May 6, 39 states have been under threat of severe weather and at least four people have died.
Over in Nebraska, 70 workers are thanking God after surviving a tornado that ripped through their area, earlier this month.
