Been on the fully-loaded prayer-wagon here too !
That 1200 mile-long string of storm fronts/rears is really quite huge !
Having been in the 'Big Middle' of 3 tornados in my lifetime , I sure do have recall of how it's like .
Seems like it took folks a couple of days to shake-off the 'numb' (shock) & figure out "What's next?" , in all the ones seen by me .
When folks die in one , that's another story , though .
Hoping for grace & mercy for all , over yonder , kin or not !
