His ways are mysterious indeed. Somewhere out of the pain and disappointment and sacrifice that is being made by those fighting and affected by this new fire, there is seed being sown for those who live here.
In 1967, I watched 24 people die in a tornado...mostly under the age of 18, and 450 were brutally injured by flying debris and glass. Permanent mental and physical scars remain.
But out of this death and destruction grew a wonderful community spirit, many lifelong friendships, and memories that have helped us appreciate each and every day since.
The human spirit is remarkably resilient, and it will rise again for those affected by the Kinishba fire.
Even as I write, I am sure that new human bonds are being molded that would not otherwise have taken place.
Mysterious, often painful, ways. But always with new seed sown.

The article was indeed heartwrenching. I had no idea the full impact of last year's fire and how this fire only exasperates things. I hope and pray that everything turns out the best it can.

Dennis I'm so very sorry....and wish everyone there the best
btw - Steve...was that the Oak Lawn - Belvidere tornado outbreak? My uncle Gene lived in Dekalb, Illinois at that time...and his description of the Belvidere tornado was beyond belief....he's 82 and says to this day that was the most frightening afternoon of his life.

One of my cousins (through marriage) and neighbor's across the street lived in Oak Lawn, Illinois... if this indeed is the tornado that occurred in 1967 at that location, they may very well have experienced the severe weather that afternoon.
Sorry for going off topic, was commenting to something mentioned in the thread.
I believe going a bit off topic in a thread makes this have a good quality... there would be any reason to create a new thread on an issue brought up here.
