THE tornado groaned like a madman hungry for human blood. It sucked and chewed everything, everyone in its path. At least 124 people must have found their eyeballs being scooped out of their sockets, their limbs yanked from their bodies. It was like the victims, two of them Filipinos, were trapped in a giant blender then turned into juice.
Radio and online news reports confirmed that two Filipino-Americans were among those at least 124 killed in the tornado that struck Missouri Sunday.
