Sderot Family: It's a Miracle that We Were Saved

(Jerusalem Post) Tovah Lazaroff - Tami Jorno was busy cooking breakfast for her two small children at 8:30 on Thursday morning, when a siren rang out, warning of an incoming rocket attack from Gaza. It followed a night wracked by so many sirens that the Jorno family had slept in their safe room in the basement, rather than in their upstairs bedrooms. When the Code Red siren wailed once more, "we didn't waste a second," Tami said. Her son Uri, 4, and daughter Daniella, 5, raced to the safe room. They made it there just before a rocket tore into Tami's upstairs bedroom, two floors above. A short distance away Rachmiel Steinberg was busy cleaning up debris from the rocket that landed in his driveway. Almost all the windows in his house were damaged in the explosion. He was away from home at the time, but his wife, Ava, was in the kitchen when a warning siren rang out. She quickly entered a safe room. Her shock was so great when she emerged and understood how narrowly she escaped harm that hours later her body still trembled as she spoke.
