Frustratedearthmother and I both live in hurricane country. We get lots of notice and have time to get ready. Tornadoes are a part of that too, just to add to the general misery. What happened in Oklahoma, was very little warning. There is no way to prepare a week or days ahead of a massive tornado. If my house was leveled like what I am seeing on TV, then all my carefully stored canned goods, jellies, dehydrated foods, extra essentials--EVERYTHING WOULD BE GONE. just gone. gone.
God bless the people that have lost their belongings. Even though it is just stuff, homes, furniture and such, it can be hard to start over and some people never get to where they were before. For the people who lost family members or friends, I can't even begin to imagine. For the parents who lost children, the pain will never go away. The empty hole in their lives will never be filled. My heart goes out to them.
