'Out of my 14 years doing disaster response, I have never ever seen a weather season in the United States that is this severe where natural disasters keep coming and we haven't even started hurricane season,' said Phyllis Freeman, World Vision's domestic emergency response director and a veteran of the agency's Hurricane Katrina response. 'It is heartbreaking to see yet another tornado devastate an entire community and to see even more children left homeless.'"
