Wildfires and Tornados Create Powerful Illustrations

 

The sudden wildfire that reduced about 30-40 percent of the Northern Alberta Town of Slave Lake, Alberta, Canada into smouldering ruins leaving over 7,000 persons homeless in a few hours and the killer tornado that destroyed Joplin in Missouri, in the United States and killed over a hundred people have created a number of memorable examples and illustrations you could use at some time in a presentation or speech if you present in an appropriate, compassionate manner.

Both of these disasters ( as well as the stories that have come out of them) are tragic examples of how powerless man is against nature when it runs amok despite all of the latest technology and equipment; how suddenly the unexpected can happen; and how there are still many good people in the world who are willing to help others during disasters like these two as well as the many floods that are inundating communities across North American in Canada and the United States.

You will probably come across many more yourself when you read about the individuals affected by all of these disasters as well as the efforts by these people to help one another.
