After the Storm

Yesterday was a scary day in Kentucky and across the south- March 2nd tornadoes! The temperature reached 80 degrees, the air was muggy and heavy with moisture. Finally about four or five yesterday afternoon the storm hit. We were blessed and our neighborhood was spared, but there were so many who weren’t as lucky.

One of the most heart breaking stories came from southern Indiana….

A little girl was discovered in an Indiana field following Friday’s tornadoes. She is in critical condition at a Kentucky hospital, but she may be the only member of her family who survived.

The little girl was found in New Pekin, Ind. on Friday near the bodies of her 21-year-old mother, and her younger siblings. She had a 3-year-old brother and a 2-month-old sister.

The 2-year-old child, whose injuries have been undisclosed, is being attended by one unidentified family member at Kosair Children’s Hospital in Louisville, Ky., about two hours north of here.

Authorities are trying to determine how the child wound up in the field, since her family lived about 10 miles south of where she was discovered.

Won’t you join me in saying a prayer for this child and for all the others who lost loved ones or were injured in the storm?
