## Resource

On June 16th, twelve years ago, a deadly tornado outbreak ripped through northeast Nebraska, spawning five tornadoes—including four EF-4s—that devastated small towns like Pilger, killing two and injuring twenty. Amidst record warmth and humidity, meteorologists issued a “particularly dangerous situation” watch, but the damage was still catastrophic. Pilger, with fewer than 400 residents, was nearly erased, yet its people rebuilt with astonishing resilience—except for their middle school. This story is a haunting tribute to nature’s fury and the quiet strength of communities rising from the rubble. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
