Sometimes we treat disasters as these inanimate objects that we study, discuss and try to respond to and recover from. It is important to remember that there are people behind each of these events.

While the tornado recorded on this blog is not current, it is a good example of how one's life can be turned topsy turvy by a disaster. One moment you are planning on going to the prom in a Corvette, shortly later you are looking for personal possessions and happy to be alive.

Thanks to Zac Andereck for sharing his experiences.
