An apparent tornado damaged a high school in Enterprise, Alabama as a violent storm front moved across the state. State officials confirm 8 people are dead in Enterprise, and 5 in Miller’s Ferry.
Enterprise High School was damaged when a possible tornado moved through the southeast Alabama town, and police were trying to determine if any students were trapped inside, according to state Representative Terry Spicer of Elba. Spicer says he’s been talking with local officials, who reported that there was significant damage to the school, with the gym’s roof heavily damaged.

My thoughts and prayers are with the people who lost loved ones…

I too am sending thoughts and prayers, but I wonder why God allows innocent children to be killed by something we conceptualize in human terms as "weather’ or “nature”. And why does it happen over and over again, a boy killed by a tornado, a child in my state killed by a falling tree in an ice storm. Why were we put on a planet that seems to be so hostile to us??

Our county was under a tornado warning for about an hour, but all we got was a moderate shower. Not even any lightning/thunder.

I must confess, I find it hard to reconcile my feelings after events like this. In my rosary time, which happened while the weather was coming on, I prayed that we (and I meant all of us Alabamans) would be spared from the violent weather. In the aftermath, I am so sad for the people in Enterprise and the others in Missouri and Georgia, but at the same time I am thankful that we weren’t harmed. Survivor’s guilt?
