All things considered, NJ is pretty tame when it comes to the natural disasters. Not that we don't have the occasional Nor'easter, or Hurricaine Floyd. It's just that those are exceptions, and not the rule.

Incredibly & tragically I believe we're w/i two degrees of separation from the victims of this tornado. Sue Rhea, from St. Paul, left the Arden Cup tournament Monday morning b/c she'd received word that a tornado had hit her sister's house & killed her 2-year old nephew. I'd heard her 6-year old niece was in critical condition, but perhaps it was this 4-year old girl in the picture, who sadly died. Her brother-in-law had a broken femur. They lived about 40 miles from Minneapolis & so it probably was Hugo & this family. It was horrible news. Tornadoes are terrifying.

Yep, that was them. :( I wrote this after reading Cheryl's CGP post.

Duh. What's the odds that you would randomly refer to an article about tornadoes that just happened to be Sue Rhea's family?

I'm glad there's still hope for their daughter.

The articles don't say that Annika died, even though her photo is shown as a "victim". So... let's hope.

Horrible, still.
