When I was a kid, living in Missouri, our family lived through the worst tornado in the state’s history. (Maybe it still is?) That event became the family’s defining moment. Everything was defined as pre- or post-tornado, and continues to be 60 years later. These times will resonate in the minds of most Americans in the same way - pre- or post-COVID, insurrection, impeachment. At least I hope for it to be so. There is so much to be learned from these times.

Keep tellin’ it like it is, grandma! We’re all listening.

Well, thankee. Which tornado was it? The Joplin 2011 was pretty horrible. I went out afterward and was stunned by the devastation. A cousin is a mental health counselor out there and that's pretty much still a big topic of conversation.

Nope. Way back in 1957. KC. Our house was completely destroyed.
