Chapter 8
The bombing in Dresden can be connected to a bad tornado. When people heard that the bombing was about to happen, they all went to the safest parts of their home that they knew of and hid just like we do if there is a tornado. When the Americans came out after the bombing, everything was destroyed and looked completely different than it had before. Although the bombings caused way more significant damage than most tornados, the concept is similar in that the appearance of the city people were used to had been changed drastically in a matter of hours.

I like how you related the bombings to a modern day event for us. We aren't used to taking shelter due to bombing threats. A tornado drill can help interpret how the people of Dresden felt although I'm sure they were more afraid due to the seriousness of the sitaution.
