Last time this happened a few years ago I got a call from my states disaster health care agency looking for volunteers to be deployed. Unfortunately I couldnt go do to a licensing issue, but that is solved now.
Hey Jason! Hope you're ok. Crazy violent storms. Loaded up the storm shelter and prepared ahead of time but praise God it didn't make it to our house.
Praying for the families that know of their losses and those that are still waiting to know the fate of their loved ones. We are strong here in the heartland and it's great to know our FTE family is thinking of us. The emotional rollercoaster cannot be expressed.
I was watching that twister live on the weather channel as it was coming into Moore Oklahoma. I was just saying, "Oh My God" and started praying right there. They had good warning if the people were listening to the radio and tv. I cried about the children. We all understand that the best judgement of the faculty of those schools is to keep the children together and in the inner halls. That in and of itself would be the best place 99.5% of the time. With all of those homes that were completely destroyed, the death and injury lists would have been many times higher if that twister had hit in the middle of the night. I for one, as many of us do in the MidWest, upon hearing of a 'storm warning' and 'to seek shelter' in the middle of the night would have let the wind outside blow and just roll over to go back to sleep. It would have been deadly for many of those who lived there. God help the people of Oklahoma.
I would like to add that the media is mainly focusing on the Moore area tornado due to the devistation, but there were others the day before. One that went through Edmond (sub north of OKC) and then skipped northeast and went through Carney. There was one that formed and dropped east of Norman and traveled through a small community called Little Axe. It destroyed a mobile home park in another small community named Bethel Acres and made its way to the northern sides of Shawnee. I drove about 6 miles south of where I am and there was the path of the one that went through Little Axe. I started clocking the distance when I 1st saw tree damage until the last tree damage, 1.1 miles. There are folks out here that have lost their homes also. Please think about them and although I wasn't in the path, your support is appreciated. God bless.
