Tornados and Other Scary Weather

Last night... the night that we had tornados all over the Eastern part of Nebraska... and Western Iowa... according to our weather guy, Jim Flowers; he hasn't seen anything quite so active or deadly since 1988... and only then was it one large one in Gretna, killing 2 people.
As we watched, there were sightings and touch-downs of funnels in the Lincoln area through to Omaha metro and onto Iowa... the worst one, which killed 4 Boy Scouts at the Little Sioux Boy Scout Camp.
We have campers in Ashland again this week... and funnels were going through there again as well... Summer camp and tornados shouldn't go hand-in-hand.
We live in tornado alley. We know that... and it's what we take with the good...
Our prayers to Iowa... for the recession of their rivers and the healing to the families of the Scouts.
