Thanks everyone for your thoughts and concern for us and everyone here in Moore. We stayed at our Sons in OKC yesterday and watched along with all of you the destruction. We are back in our house as of last night and can see the helicopters, etc from our back porch.
We are all so saddened with the lose of life and especially the children at the one school. Many storys of teachers laying over their kids to protect them and sustaining severe trauma. The power of these storms are unbelieveable but when you see the twisted cars and leveled homes you get it.
Closet call for us in over 40 years. Seems we have picked a spot to live in a very destructive path for weather. I have no doubt that this community will rebuild. The people that run this town are amazing and its sad because all the work they have done to make this area great.
They have opened the main roads this morning and John went to do some work but I haven't ventured out. I know its real but man its tough.
In the coming days and weeks, we will all be called on to come help in one way or another so thats what lots of us will do.
If anyone would like to help, please donate to a charity specific for help in Oklahoma. I prefer the Salvation Army but of course its your personal choice.
But most of all, if you could promote requirements for safety shelters in schools in this area of the country. There is activity starting on facebook wanting these and so it could become a very strong force on social media.
And yes, we questioned our decision to come back here as we ran through large hail to get to the shelter.
Aloha and thanks again everyone!
Nancy
