Storms Again

I had a cousin that was living in Moore, Ok, when that one hit. It missed her by a couple of blocks or so. She was so scared she called her Mom to tell her good-bye and that she loved her. She had just moved there and had no idea where to go for safety. I can't imagine getting a phone call like that!!!

I feel so sorry for the people that were hit. I know that Kansas is known for their tornados but we don't seem to have very many in the area where I live. Wichita was hit really bad a few years ago and of course, Greensburg. East of us in Missouri and Arkansas and south in Oklahoma seems to get hit much worse than we do.

The stories of how little time people had to get to safety are just amazing!! I think that's why so many people died is because there just was not enough time to get to safety. So sad.

DIANA! MOORE, YES! That is where Gary's son lives and his house has been hit twice. Gary's aunt and uncle that we travel with and that Gary was fishing with last month had a home in the same addition as Gary's son. They sold the house a year before the whole addition was destroyed by that Moore, OK tornado. Their former house was nothing but sticks. It was just horrible. We were up there just a few days after it happened. It looked like bombs exploded every block. Terrible.

The news keeps showing the devastation and telling how the death toll is now over 300. The pictures they are showing are so horrible...'sticks' everywhere. The sadness and worry in the people's faces. My heart goes out to them.
