Lazy day. Emir is with Ashes and I slept until seven. Considering Wednesday, rest will be good. Tornado passed about four or five miles north of us. Impressive sight though at the time I didn't realize what I was looking at. All of our friends are okay. Some folks weren't so lucky. It took out a couple of buildings on the way to Dadeville and a heap of trees just pass the funeral home/crematorium. At the time I contemplated the real possibility of my death; I wonder if the three hundred plus who actually did had time to do the same.
On a global scale this is nothing compared to the earthquake in Japan. Yet on a personal level it's all the same. Life is truly disposed toward suffering. Our family and friends are not replaceable commodities. That kind of loss stays with you for a lifetime even if you learn to live with it.
