"At ten years old, I was old enough to understand what had happened to my family, but not quite old enough to fully grasp and handle the emotional aspect of it. The devastation we witnessed is hard to put into words. It looked like a bomb had gone off, and nothing in the town was recognizable. When you actually stand in the rubble of what used to be the house you grew up playing in as a child, you just cry. I would never wish something like that on anyone."
