the 411 on the karls

Just received an email from Jeff:

Hey everyone,
I've finally been able to get some concrete information on Justin and Alana Karl's situation.  I haven't been able to get to them or get in touch with them as cell service is almost non-existent.  I finally received this text a few minutes ago from a student who lives down the street from them:  I asked if their apartment is standing, livable, where are they staying, etc.  He responded: "No its done. Whole sides of their walls gone.  Their stuff is hanging out the side. They're staying at an apt next door to them. Both cars are destroyed."  So, it's obviously not good.  There are some students who I think have been able to get to them, comforting them.  Please pray for the Karl's...it's going to be a long journey of recovery, materially and emotionally.  Also, please pray for our team and students...everyone is in shock.  
Thanks for interceding for us...
