[Governor Dinwiddie]

So sad. She probably should have stayed in the office park. Of course we all have done something similar at least once, i.e. venture out when bad rain/snow/tornado/ice/hurricanes/wildfire were forecast. We always think "won't happen to me!"

Yep, in the stupidity of youth I was a prime offender.

I have defined stupidity more than I want to admit and Darwin has given me awards. We can ask why the poor Mother ventured outside with her child in those life threatening conditions. It will not add much to the discussion. People need to be educated on these disasters,how to avoid danger or get out of it.Every tragedy has to lead to lessons learned. All of us need to be prepared for the worst case scenario. Unfortunately,time and time again,there are those who become the victim for a wide range of reasons and circumstances.
