On May 22, 2011, Joplin Missouri was struck by one of the deadliest tornadoes in recorded history. At first, many residents, including me, felt hopeless. It seemed like the end of the world. Faced with confusion, uncertainly, loss and homelessness, we looked for any light to lead us out of the darkness.
The home of my parents, who were in their eighties, was severely damaged. Their roof was blown away, and the roof from a nearby school crashed into the front of their house. In seconds, the house they had lived in for years became impossible to live in.
As soon as my parents safely moved, I tried to determine if any of their remaining possessions could be saved. Regrettably, I discovered their roof, before departing for parts unknown, had dropped massive amounts of fiberglass insulation. This pink material made everything appear to be coated in cotton candy, but the glass fibers within it had ruined most of their furniture and clothing.
My parents had hoped, however, that I might be able to save some of their books and pictures. Unfortunately, every time I tried to remove a photo album from a drawer of a book from a shelf, the non - stop rain wet what I was hying to protect. Between the rain and the glass fibers, it all seemed hopeless.
Trying to fight off hopelessness, I took a minute to stand in what was left of my parents' bedroom. When I looked up through their non-existent proof, I saw gray clouds floating above me, and suddenly everything seemed so strange. Rain coated my upturned face, flooded my eyes, and flowed into my mouth. Overwhelmed, I felt like I was drowning, I needed fresh air, so I ran outside.
Standing on my parents' front yard in the rain, I could breathe better but I still had an overwhelming sense of hopelessness.
