A heart felt sorrow for those DJs affected by the devastating weather.
Many DJs all across the states have been affected by tornados, flooding, hail and strong winds that have pounded America.
While watching all this stormy weather on the news I couldn't help but think how lucky I have been so far this year when it came to the bad weather.
I have had a few events that were delayed, moved indoors or cancelled due to the weather but so far my clients and I have not had the kind of devastation that has been hitting hard over the last few weeks.
Today I decided to take a few minutes of my day to e-mail a few DJs in the area of Southern MN and Iowa who have been hit by the bad weather.
I wanted to check in with them to see that they and their loved ones are/were not in danger and that their business has/will survive the destructive weather.
If you have a moment to spare today, reach out to those who live in the areas struck by tornadoes, floods, hail and strong winds to see if they are alright and/or if there is something that you maybe able to do to help them out in their time of need. One day the situation could be reversed and you may need a friend to reach out to.
For those of you who have been affected by the weather, all of our thoughts and prayers here at the Disc Jockey News go out to you and your families.

After writing this posting I learned that Dana Anderson a DJ form Parkersburg lost his home to a tornado and ended up with a broken leg.
I personally know Dana from meeting him at the Northern Disc Jockey Conferences and his postings on Prodj.com. He is a great and respectable guy and I wish him a quick and healthy recovery.
A DJ in Cedar Rapids Iowa is reeling this morning. Dave Lundon (A to Z Party Pros) was able to retrieve his family, his dog, and minimal processions from his house before the Cedar River took his house, most of his possessions including nearly all of his PA equipment.
