After shifting to Des Moines from the farm, I gained’t overlook the twister of 1964. Later, it was characterised as an EF2 twister (with winds 113-157 mph). Taking part in in our yard with my brother and sisters, I seemed up via the neighbors again yards on the ominous, heavy, darkish clouds and a sudden cooling of that scorching June day.
Instantly, straw and junk swirled via the yards. I yelled for my siblings to get to the home. However earlier than we received the door opened, the fury of that storm struck us, and we have been trapped. Preventing, we managed to squeeze via the storm door and went straight to the basement. The twister hit arduous as we watched a tree in our yard bend to the bottom.
When the storm blew over, we went outdoors to seek out our rubbish can lacking…and clearly all the rubbish of a household of seven, too! About an hour later, somebody returned our rubbish can…empty! We survived, but it surely all occurred so quick.
The Bible says that Jesus will come so shortly that we’ll don’t have any time…like an imagined “EF7”, sweeping up true Christians to Heaven, and the remaining remaining behind. Are you prepared? Belief in Jesus in the present day!
“Well bless their hearts.”
