At approximately 7:57 p.m., on March 27th, 2007, an
EFE 3 tornado tore a 600 foot swath of destruction through the small
southeastern town of Holly, Colorado. This town of approximately 1000 people
received no prior warning from weather forecasters. Thirty-two homes were
destroyed and dozens of families became homeless overnight. The resilience
and strength of this community came into play, as family, friends and
neighbors joined in to help in the reconstruction efforts.

Cathcart makes a list of the items that were rescued from her home with the
help of Bridget Johnson, a close family friend. Her home on Highland St. in
Holly Colorado got severely damaged from Wednesday's tornado, and her
insurance company came over to survey the damage. Her house is condemned to
be torn down, as she spends her las few minutes in her home of 30 years.
