I just got a call from the boys down at Grey Group Training. They told me that a tornado ripped through Fayetteville, N.C., about an hour ago. Eric Page described it concisely: “It was a no-shit tornado, bro.”

Page said Grey Group’s building suffered damage to the roof but is otherwise intact. “The store is pretty much OK,” he said, “but right outside there are cars turned over in the parking lot.”

The tornado drew a line of destruction that Page witnessed as he drove from his house to the store, “Driving in to the office, it’s crazy. Power lines are down all over and there are whole houses just flattened to the ground.”

He said he thinks the tornado hit Ft. Bragg, as well.

Let’s take a moment to pray for everyone’s safety in Fayetteville and Ft. Bragg.

UPDATE: The power’s out, mayhem reigns and the guys are on the roof with NVGs. Move along, Mr. Looter. Move along.
