This Sunday a fatal tornado broke out and affected many residents lives across the Midwest. Five people died and many more were severely injured from the incident. From smashing homes to tossing cars this terrible disaster wiped out many of the towns in Missouri, Indiana and Kentucky. A preliminary report from the National Weather Service said at least 50 mobile homes in two trailer parks could have taken a "direct hit." Homes became flattened from the storm and trapped people inside. Some conditions became even worse when injured victims could not have been found. Due to the severe damage of the crumbled towns addresses nor streets were able to be determined to save these people. Most of them accepted their inevitable fate as the storm approached. They were aware of the fact that their lives would no longer be the same; if they were lucky enough to be alive, that is. Many people shared intimate stories of their experience with the storm and how they truly believed their life would be over in a few short seconds. After surviving the tragic incident they realized how truly blessed and lucky they were to be alive.
These type of stories really open people's eyes to the dangers out there that are in nobodies control. Nobody can prevent a natural disaster, such as this one, from occurring, but they can always be thankful for the life they are given and appreciate the circumstances they live in.
