The tornado caused much sorrow for some of the Hispanic families that attend Sacred Heart. Four children died having sought shelter in a bathtub only to have a tree fall on their mobile home. Their mobile home park is a mess of damaged trailers. One of Chris's Vietnamese families had a tree fall on their home in a nearby subdivision. Luckily, he had arranged a good insurance policy for them. Catholic Parish Outreach lost power and had just received the month's delivery of meat. They quickly put everything on dry ice.Their old distribution center lost part of its roof. I think tornados are much worse than hurricanes--so little time to prepare and the whole thing is so random. Believe me when I say that I counted my blessings, that Chris and I were able to proceed with our planned visit to see our daughter and her family in Oregon only a few days later.
