Our very close friends daughter is married to an Australian and they live in Melbourne. They own several stores (like Target) around Australia, and the main one is in Alexandria, and they also have a home there that his parents currently live in. The Daughter and son in law are in Alexandria now, and their main store is being used as a staging center. They have lost one of their smaller stores, and a gas station (the picture of the gas station is in the hundreds of pictures on AOL). One of their employees has died that they know of. Tina, the daughter told her Mother that she had never in her life seen such tragedy and devestation, it was just shocking.
We are sending prayers their way as well.
