Week 4: Family of 5 killed by tornado

The family of five was buried Monday after the tornado on Friday ripped through their mobile home in New Pekin Indiana. The family, two parents ages twenty-one and twenty and their three children ages two, fifteen months, and two months were among the thirty-four dead in Kentucky and Indiana. The families fifteen month old daughter was the only survivor of the tornado but she too passed on Sunday when she was taken off life support after severe brain injuries. I think especially in places where tornado's are common anyone who does not have an adequate place to find protection should have access to one. All trailer parks should have a place for people to go during a tornado to avoid anymore tragedies.

  1. I feel very bad for this families relatives and friends. I agree, I think everywhere they should have somewhere for people to go in case a major storm like a tornado rolls through there town, especially now a days when the weather is so unpredictable. Trailer parks should be the number one priority where this takes place because they don’t have a secure place, like basement, to go in to and take cover. This will prevent unnecessary deaths like this.
