sadness sitting like a heavy stone on my soul, tears right on the edge of my consciousness ready to pour out at any moment
it doesn't feel right for it to be such a bright, sunny, beautiful day
like there should never be any more bright sunny days after babies die 
tossed around and smashed to the ground
with their mamma's screaming and trying to hold them
not my babies but it so easily could have been
death blowing in the wind, taking whomever it pleases
we should run and hide and pray 
but it doesn't matter
if death comes blowing down your door

No words for that kind of grief.
I can't imagine the horror of that situation. But I have to ask, with so many dead Do people not have storm cellars anymore?
Certainly these tornado events are severe, but so many people trying to ride these out in closets and bathtubs?
I hope that there is a new interest, building code, mandate, something to get those safe in the ground shelters built. I would never live in tornado country without them.
