Horrible, horrible images from MO and TN. Over a hundred buildings damaged just in Jackson, TN. Entire downtown of Pierce City, MO destroyed, bulldozers are now clearing out the brick rubble. I seriously wonder if it will ever be rebuilt.

And that's just what I was able to see when they briefly interrupted the far more important nonstop coverage of what Scott Peterson had for breakfast. If a Fox News reporter hadn't been from a neighborhood damaged in KC, I'm not sure they would have bothered covering this. Fair and Tabloid.

Not to sound morbid or anything but is it me or does anyone not see these things having a bit of a miracle attached to them? A re-building process and construction jobs and growth can come into a community or a town now thanks to tornadoes. Loss of life is impossible to replace. However, in the darkness of all of this chaos the light at the end of the tunnel has to be the fact that there is now open land and property that can be re-built at the cost of FEMA and the Govt. Maybe some of these area's have been having hard times with businesses and now insurance can pay off the small business owners.

I dunno...just trying to see some good in this.
