I realize now, looking back at my original plot armor post, that I made a promise I somehow failed to keep. I told you there were more tornado encounters to share, specifically mentioning a third one, and then I just left you hanging like a cliffhanger in a television show that gets canceled before the next season.

Josรฉ Salema, Country Director of #Dorcas Yemen, clearly remembers the moment he was asked to provide support to a remote village: "Everything was underwater.
