I don’t know what to say about that poor city of Greenburg, Kansas, and others hit by the devastating tornadoes this week but God bless the people there. Needless to say, they have quite the rebuilding job ahead of them. But if some of the people I’ve seen interviewed are any indication, they will be fine. They’re in a lot better shape in some respects than a lot of us with roofs over our heads. I’m thinking in particular of that city administrator Steve Hewitt, who I caught on one of he news channels this morning. To look up from your basement and see only sky, walk up and down your block and see nothing but destruction but still look forward to tomorrow because those you love are alive and that’s all that matters — that’s the best of America.
