On a summer Friday meant for leisure, Geneva Lake in Wisconsin became the site of an irreversible loss — three children, all under thirteen, perished when a recreational boat was overwhelmed by a sudden and violent storm. All four children aboard wore life jackets, yet the fury of wind and wave proved beyond what any precaution could answer. Their deaths remind us that nature does not negotiate with preparation alone, and that the distance between safety and catastrophe can collapse in an afternoon.
