May Flowers

I suppose we're all a bit lucky to have flowers of any sort to enjoy when considering the tornado that swept through Lee County and Sanford last month on the 16th. So many people have lost everything they have, some have lost homes, some have lost jobs and workplaces. It's been a trying time for many. For myself and family, we were spared. Since that fateful Saturday afternoon I have tried to get around and capture some of the scenes but it's pretty heartrending to see the devestation. It's almost as if you're intruding on something highly private to line up a photograph that shows the loss of others.
As for my video of the storm, I was priviliged enough to be interviewed by NBC/WeatherChannel on it, but with the susquent Tuscaloosa storm and it's almost Biblical proportions, my efforts pale in comparison to what others were able to film down there. Sigh. My fifteeen minutes of fame was reduced to seven and a half. ;)
