On a single Kentucky street, the tornado killed 7 children

Associated Press  

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — The little red wagon was strewn upside down on a heap of rubble — a pile of boards and bricks, a mangled blue bicycle, a baby doll. “We come from war; this reminds us, it touches the memory of that, where we’ve been and how we came here,” said Ganimete Ademi, a 46-year-old grandmother who fled Kosovo in 1999 during the war, in which she lost her uncle and a nephew. “That’s hard to think about — you go to bed, and your entire family is gone the next day,” said Ronnie Ward, with the Bowling Green Police Department. “It’s almost hard to look at, because how did it miss that house but it got this house?” Ward said. “This tree could have come in my house, and we’d all be gone too,” she said.
