Tornado Hits Harvest Albama for a Second Time

One might say lightning might not strike twice, but what about a tornado? That is the unfortunate realization ten months apart that the people in Harvest, Alabama. The quaint little town was rattled by a tornado in April of 2011 and the tornado did strike once again just this past week, in a the midst of a siege of unfortunate natural disasters.


Harvest Alabama Citizens Pick up the Pieces After Second Tornado



Mother Nature is often times a harsh and bitter force. She will strike you down at the worst times and she does not discriminate. Man, woman, child, people felt the sting of many disasters throughout the time. It is scary how something like a tornado or any natural disaster, will uproot the lives of many.

It is twice as scary as the citizens of Harvest, Alabama found out. Ten months apart, which is not even a year and a lot can happen in ten months. Many dollars of damage has done, many lives were lost, and many more will put back in peril.

There is nothing to do to stop these forces of natures. A tornado will not just leave you alone because you had already weathered one. People really find that out in the worst possible way. Tornadoes do not bother to check in whether or not they have already been victims of a natural disaster.

Last year when the tornado touched down in Harvest, Alabama, 250 people died, with many more injured and much property damage. This time, only a mere ninety people suffered. But the sufferings should not be something that are minimized.

The people of Harvest, Alabama are survivors. Let us hope that a third tornado does not strike down although the potential for that would be rather alarming. Thoughts and prayers go out to those involved, as they pick up the pieces from this tornado.
