Prayers with Caruthersville victims

To the editor:

In response to the story "Caruthersville crushed: More than half the town sees destruction": First and foremost, thank you for publishing your articles on the Internet. Local, accurate reporting such as Jennifer Freeze's article covering the devastation of the recent storms beats national news hands down. My family has long-reaching roots in the Caruthersville area, and these roots, along with faith, can hold anything down in any storm. Please continue to post follow-up articles so that we can follow the recovery. God bless all of you. Our prayers are with you.

AL HOPKINS, Hart, Mich.
