Day 2 – National Preparedness Month – Spiritual Preparedness
While I was in High School a small tornado came through where I lived. I vividly remember riding a quiet(er) bus home looking out the window and seeing the evidence of where it had hopped until it had finally vanished it had dissolved. A few blocks from our home, where a small construction boom was happening, there was a slab of cement with a twisted knot of metal on top. This had been the site of their “pilot” steel framed house –reported to be stronger than the usual wood frame. I recall chuckling and thinking “ Didn’t really work now did it.”
I have since learned more about construction and architecture and stand corrected. The company’s claim was true, steel is stronger than wood. However a house requires more to become a stable shelter than a strong foundation and steel framing. Trusses, beams, exterior and interior walls, etc all work together to create a structure that can withstand the storms. Our high school had also been hit by that tornado and as a completed structure merely lost a few windows. It had weathered the storm to protect its precious cargo.
