A funnel cloud was spotted over Rome, NY on Friday, stirring nerves in a town still recovering from last year’s tornado. While it didn’t touch down, forecasters warn another round of severe storms could arrive late Saturday, with a chance for an isolated tornado.
When one child was turned away from a school dance, the city of Rome turned up the music. The community came together to throw a celebration filled with dancing, joy, and kindness—proving sometimes the best response is simply love.
When a school policy kept a young girl from attending her much-anticipated dance, it left her in tears—and the community ready to act. What began as disappointment has turned into a powerful display of compassion, as local families, businesses, and volunteers have come together to give her, and others who felt left out, a night to remember.
