Description
Devastation:
Even in the midst of our worst Storm Outbreak in History
My State has Endured a Total of 167 Tornadoes, now counting
the 10 that hit last Friday May 2, 2008. We have had at
one time 14 inches of rain in one day followed a week later
by over 12 inches of Snow, but God has Granted that there
should still be New Life where There was none. The Flowers
are from a Vine of my late wifes garden and every year
since her passing have had only diseased and rotted looking
bouquets, but this is the first time in 13 years that they look
Alive and Well and that is where I Hope this finds All of you.

I've only ever seen one today, when I was on holiday in Italy, it must be a nightmare to have one go threw your home or town, excellent photography, presentation and message, take care:)

INCRIVEIS FOTOS ISTO É UMA É UMA COISA HORRIVEL TANTA DESTRUIÇÃO FICO TRISTE POR VOCÊ TER QUE PASSAR POR ISTO. AQUI NO BRASIL MAIO 3 FOI A PRIMEIRA VEZ QUE PASSOU UM CICLONE VENTOS DE 135KM POR HORA MUITA CHUVA E DESTRUIÇÃO MAS AQUI ONDE MORO NÃO ACONTECEU NADA. MAS NAS TUAS FOTOS UMA ALEGRIA PARA VOCÊ VER TANTAS COISAS DESTRUIDAS E VER A BELEZA DA VIDA ESTAS ROSAS MARAVILHOSAS VIVAS.

that is sad that these tornadoes happened in your area. Luckily, you are alive and safe, I believe God has watched over you guys when these happened. It sounds to me you live in the middle section of the united states. I live right along the fault line so I assume a disaster of earthquakes will happen in my area any year.

I'm very glad to see pictures from you, Mark! Every man is born not only a poet but also a photograph! :)

Great collage. Wonderful story and the flower is simply beautiful. The weather is strange. here in Europe too. We had no spring. Until last week we had rain, storm and cold. And now from one day to another 21 degrees.Strange.

Beautiful and so thoughtful montage, Thelby. Perhaps your wife is speaking to you with the blooming of her roses? I think so. I hope it gives you solace in all the devastation. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Thelby.

This brings tears to my eyes. I love that the roses have grown strong in the midst of this hardship you all are enduring. So sorry to hear that the weather is so bad. Someone once said that the weather is the perfect weapon if only it could be harnessed.
