## Resource

A tornado tore through Detroit’s lower east side, leaving destruction in its wake — but one father became a symbol of courage. Daquan Addison Sr. dislocated his shoulder shielding his infant daughter as glass shattered and debris flew. His fiancée, Chavone Rivers, recounted the terror as windows blew out near their baby’s crib — and their century-old family home was left unlivable. While material loss is devastating, Daquan insists possessions can be replaced. Detroit Mayor Mary Sheffield hailed him a hero on his birthday, pledging citywide support for recovery. With at least 20 homes damaged, trees downed, and traffic lights out, cleanup will stretch into the weekend. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
