Community effort

Dexter Tornado aftermath
More than 700 people walked through downtown Dexter MI on Saturday raising over $12,000 to help victims of the tornado, while another 500 helped with the ongoing cleanup in the stricken neighborhoods.  Washtenaw County is adding $250,000 to the clean-up effort according to ClickonDetroit.com, and based on what I saw today there were at least as many volunteers helping as yesterday. It continues to amaze me when looking at how thoroughly some of the houses were demolished that no one was hurt! The community of Dexter, MI truly demonstrates Marcus Aurelius's aphorism "To bear misfortune readily is good fortune."
