51. One week after my daughter was born by C-section, I was still in
Edited on Sun May-22-11 10:18 PM by tblue37
the hospital when a tornado passed through our city and destroyed part of our local K-mart and part of a nearby trailer park. This was in June of 1981.

One young man was killed when the back wall of the K-mart fell on him. Very sad. He was riding his bike and had taken refuge inside the store. (The man happened to be one of my (then) husband college students.)

We new mothers were evacuated into an inner hallway when the sirens went off. The tornado never came close to the hospital, but I remember how scary it was. I can only imagine what the people in that hospital in Joplin must have felt!
