Yesterday, March 2, West Liberty was hit by a tornado just two days after being pummeled by one on February 29. So far, it has been reported that three people lost their lives yesterday & the town totally destroyed. For a town to be doubly devastated within a week kicks my empathy into overdrive. I may not be a resident of that town but anytime I hear of the loss of life or devastation in a town that I showed, it makes me pause & take stock. I remember the bustling activity of thriving businesses & the patrons that filled our bleachers. I wonder if those that lost their lives might have at one time sat with their children thru one of our performances, delighting in the look of joy on the kid's faces.
After last year's horrific outbreak, I thought that Mother Nature had wreaked her vengenance. For extreme meteorlogical event to occur not even a year later has not been documented, that I am aware of.
