Wadena, continued

Not only were my cousin Grayce and her husband home, but her sister and brother-in-law from Iowa had arrived about half an hour before the storm (there was an all classes reunion of Wadena High School this weekend). The four of them were in the basement while the top of the house was destroyed. They are all OK, thank God! My sister Pauline and her husband can identify with that experience - they were in their house in Homestead FL when Hurricane Andrew destroyed it 18 ? years ago. That's an experience none of us want!
