I have said a lot here. I'll go back the the original question if I haven't addressed it already.

no. I couldn't have stopped that without God and every other higher power on my side. I would have lived with survivor's guilt for the rest of my life, just as I do for the tornado that actually killed one of the women that I would have given up almost everything I had to date and then marry. I couldn't stop it, and couldn't even help in relief duty beyond helping my only daughter. I was on site within minutes, and cleared a street, but the heat and humidity hit my asthma to the point that I had to be driven home. I was afraid to go out again. AFRAID. I am kicking myself every time I think about it. But then, it was too late anyway. By the time my crisis had passed there was nothing left to do but pick up debris.
