Oklahoma's Deadly Tornadoes

Moore has been hit... again.  Following a similar path to the devastating tornado of May 3, 1999, this tornado has taken homes, taken lives, and taken innocence.  But what can you say?  What can you do? 

Our hearts break for those who lost everything, for those who lost anything.  And we breathe a sigh of relief for each person who is pulled out of the wreckage alive.  The healing will take time, but Oklahomans are strong.  We come together in times like this.  Unfortunately, we have been through many tragedies in our state.  Our home.  Home should be safe, but when it's not, it's nice to have family to turn to.  Family you don't know, family you've never met, family who share this great home.  And that's what Oklahomans are.  We're one big family who fight and argue and debate over the most unimportant things (and some pretty important issues too), but when it comes to devastating tragedies, we pull together.  We help each other, and we never back down.

And our family in Shawnee has been hit as well.  And Newcastle.  And we will help them too.

Thoughts of healing and hope go out to all who have been affected by the storms Sunday and Monday.  We'll get through this... just like we always do.
