So far this summer we have seen what seems to be an abnormal amount of tornado activity. The latest hit was in Iowa, western Iowa to be exact. The tornado struck the Little Sioux Scout Ranch and killed 4 scouts when they dived under a picnic table and were buried under a collapsed chimney. The Little Sioux Scout Ranch was struck early thursday morning. Im sure the boy scouts were prepared with their first aid kits though.

First aid kits have been known to save many lives in the past. I’m sure that after the tornado struck the little sioux scout ranch, the boy scouts were ready to help the 48 scouts that were injured with their first aid kits. Being a scout myself, I know how handy first aid kits can be. With the events on thursday morning happening so quickly, the quick and cool response from the boy scouts and the willingness they had to help each other out came in handy too. Tornados are so unpredictable. They can come out of no where, which the boy scouts at the little sioux scout ranch learned on thursday morning, as they watched the skies. Good thing they were boy scouts and prepared, with their first aid kits as well.

As the boy scouts at the little sioux scout ranch were watching the skies, they saw lightning and then the next thing they knew, the tornado was right on top of them. The scouts said that the twister only lasted about 8 seconds, but a very long eight seconds. I’m sure that when it was over though, that the boy scouts at the little sioux ranch were ready to help any injured with their first aid kits.
