(The Star-Kenya) Noah Gal Gendler - Imagine waking up in the middle of the night to a wailing siren - your warning that in less than 15 seconds, your house could be destroyed. Your body goes on autopilot, and sprints to the bomb shelter across the street. You barely make it inside when you hear a loud "boom," signifying that the rocket has struck a mere block away.
