{Yes, but how would you word it on a resume?}
A tornado has ripped through an industrial park here. Mercifully, no~one was killed; but there was a great deal of damage done to the buildings.
Imagine, I said to my boyfriend, imagine sitting in a job interview, being asked to explain why you left your last place of employment, and having to say to your prospective employer "it was destroyed by tornado." Would that not be regarded as a cataclysm of convenience?
Boyfriend said, you save all the newspaper clippings, present them at the interview, look your prospective employer squarely in the eye and say: "I survived a tornado; what can I do for you?"
