“We were all at home when this happened on the east side of Monroe, Louisiana. The tornado came a second after the warning went out. My children were scared and crying. My mom was praying, while we were all in the closet. Everything happened [so] fast! I saw everything crash before my eyes, [the] only thing I can think of was God keep my kids and my mother protected. After getting out of my room, we managed to get in my mom’s room after the tornado left. Some neighbors came and got us. All we can think of is God saved us,” Thomas told LookWeAreIncluded.com in Facebook messenger.
Thomas told LookWeAreIncluded.com right now her main priority is ensuring her children and mother have clothes. “I need clothing and shoes for my children and mom. I’m just trying to be the rock for my mother and children right now I will worry about me later,” she told us.

On the Facebook Live video, Thomas showed her viewers the inside of the house and explained in detail how it was gone before the blink of her eyes. The cars are totaled, but she is grateful for life. She detailed the feeling of waking up one day with a house and the next day seeing it completely destroyed.
I would tell people don’t doubt God. He had favor over us and my community. We are shook, but God protected us and we kept our strong faith in God,” Thomas told LookWeAreIncluded.com
