"It felt like the tornado was hovering over our house," which it was. Then the pause ended, there was a roar ("like it exhaled"), and Bernich's house imploded. The utility room and its inhabitants, however, survived. "We feel blessed," said Bernich. And so did many. In the wake of one of the country's worst tornado disasters, "blessed" meant losing all you owned but escaping with your loved ones and your...
