Four boys lost their lives late last night when a tornado struck their boy scouts camp in Ohio. The children were aged between 13 and 14 yrs and were part of a larger group of 80 off boy scouts. The tornado hit the boy scout camp in Little Sioux, Ohio with very little warning. As reports started to come in the injured toll has been steadily rising and stand at 40.

The four boys who lost their lives have been identified as Josh Fennen, Sam Thomsen, Aaron Eilerts and Ben Petrzika. My heart goes out to the parents and friends and hope that they are able to make it through this difficult time.

This tragedy is one of the many heart breaking stories from the severe weather that is savaging the entire mid west. Extreme weather in the mid west area has literally bought life to a stand still. The rains and the floods have completely changed the landscape with very little left standing. People have lost lives, houses, crop, business and entire livelihoods.

Hopefully we should be seeing a gradual subsiding of the storms and life can then begin to trickle back to normal.
