Deadly Storms This Weekend

There were an incredible 240 tornadoes that struck 14 different states this past weekend. There are a reported 44 deaths as a rusult of all the tragedy. I used to live in the Midwest, known as "Tornado Alley". I know how violent these twisters can be. There are no structures that can stand against a tornado when it hits directly. People that survived are just grateful to get out alive. Their homes are trash piles but they can rebuild.

That must be a frightening experience Bob, I've seen them in documentaries and news reports and the destruction they cause to anything in their path is horrific.

It's as devastating as that earthquake and tsunami in Japan. In 30 seconds, folks go from having a home, to digging out of a pile of rubble.

So many deaths and so much devastation....can't even begin to imagine what it must feel like to have your home destroyed, must be soul-destroying. Like you say Bob, they are lucky to be alive and can rebuild....
