NORFOLK, Neb. — Troy and Amy Kremlacek had been in the basement of their home outside Stanton for about 30 seconds, lying on top of the children they care for, when the house started caving in.

They heard the sounds of a tornado, coming like a freight train, and the sirens from town. They started moving the children from their in-home day care to the basement and dived on top of their son and the four other children in their care.

Troy was struck in the head and briefly knocked unconscious. Amy felt a furnace land on top of her leg. They were trapped as the storm roared past, then grew quiet.

She called 911, and they waited.

or if they'll approve funds with no problem because it's a "red state." I think playing politics with disasters like this & Superstorm Sandy is just about as low as you can get.

if they'd only levy a per transaction tax on Wall Street.

They'd also get rid of the market distortion caused by HFT.
