Oklahoma.

My heart breaks for Oklahoma.  Last night my town that I live in was hit by three tornadoes.  One was about 5 miles from my house, and two people did lose their lives in one of those tornadoes. We could actually see it. It was so scary and I don't have have a shelter.  But fortunately we were safe.  We seeked shelter and our house was fine.   Today, more tornadoes for Oklahoma.  Moore was hit so badly, that words cannot express the damage.  The tornado was over two miles wide. It was huge!! Watching it on TV was a nightmare. The tornado hit two elementary schools.  One school all the children were ok, what a miracle! The other school wasn't so lucky.  They are still missing 24 or so students, young children.  And they are thinking they are all dead.  My heart hurts.  My soul hurts.  As a mother, I send my children to school knowing they will be safe. That they are in good hands.  And those wonderful teachers did everything that they could to save those children, but it wasn't enough. Brick walls, hallways, closets are not enough to protect anyone from Mother Nature. Over 50 people have lost their lives today. Many are children. And many more are feared to be dead.  My mind is racing. I cant rest.  All I can do is think and stare at the tv.  I hope and pray that they find more children alive, hidden somewhere safe. But I fear that won't be the case.  Thoughts and prayers to everyone involved in all these storms.
