I have been watching the news coverage, of the tornados in Oklahoma, off and on for the last 24 hours. Not only is it gutwrenching to see the devastation that has happened to the communities of Moore and Shawnee, but I have been concerned about the weather situation because my son, SC, is in the Air Force and stationed in Missouri. Each time the weather person talks about the path of the storms, I scan the map to see how close or what direction it has been moving to see if he is in harm's way. Fortunately, other than bad weather, he has not been affected at all.
Each story about what has happened to the people there, especially if it involves children, is heartbreaking. It just proves how quickly your life can change and how we should be thankful for each and every day.
If you are feeling like you want to help, I urge you to make a donation to the Red Cross www.redcross.org/donate or Salvation Army www.salvationarmyusa.org/tornado. These organizations will be helping families and the community recover and money is what is most needed right now and in the future.
So hug your loved ones a little closer and keep the victims in your thoughts (and prayers).
