OT: my own little "child of the storm"

[bekah]

Well,  it looks like I got my own Child-of-the-Storm,  so to speak.

My daughter gave birth to a fine baby girl,  Hannah Michael, on 
Saturday August 26.  She lives in Northwood,  North Dakota,  the home 
of my great ancestor homesteaders of 1876.   She gave birth in a 
Grand Forks hospital and she was still there on the evening of Sunday 
August 27 when an E4 tornado flattened Northwood.  They had no phone 
coverage for days and they're out of normal cell reach.   Hannah is 
known as the Tornado baby but I think I'll call her my little "child 
of the storm" and hope she turns out as mild-mannered as her older 
sister who is named,  oddly enough considering this forum,  Grace. 
(True-  it's Gabrielle Grace but she's called Gracie by everyone).

Folks are settling in more or less now,  there has been a LOT of help 
from neighboring communities,  as you can see everyone just jumped in 
to help.  The kids are going to Portland schools now and later to 
Hatten - don't know for how long.
