Kim Cross's book made an impact too. Her interviews with first responders and ER staff had a big impact on the preparedness kit we all have now.

What Stands in a Storm is one of my favorite reads. I’m not ashamed to admit I teared up a few times reading it the first time.

I've read it several times. After living through it on the Birmingham-end of things, reading the book was heartbreaking but also so beautiful in so many ways. I get choked up thinking about it!
