Hi, listeners. Today's episode is the first of a two-part series about personal and community healing in the aftermath of the twenty eleven tornado in Joplin, Missouri. More than one hundred and fifty people died in the tornado, one of the deadliest in US history. These two stories were brought to us by and co-produced with Pauline Bartolone, and was funded in part by UC Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center as part of its Spreading Love Through the Media initiative, supported by the John Templeton Foundation. Today, we will hear from Nanda Nunnelly, and next week we'll hear from Christy Davis, who you'll hear referred to in today's episode. And now on to Nanda's story. What if a deadly tornado helped to heal old wounds?

When you truly think you're going to die, it's really strange the things that come into your head, where you truly believe this is your last breath, you're going to die, and just, ugh, I am never going to be able to tell her I'm sorry.
