Are you Okies OK?

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by belair, May 19, 2013.

  1. I haven't been so scared since the May 2003 tornado took out my house and shop...and yes, we were inside it! My wife's cousin (four years old) was in the pre-school across from the school that was destroyed (but had no casualties). Two guys I work with had the tornado miss them by a block or so. Another friend had a car at a shop in Moore, and the shop with everything in it is completely gone. I am five miles from the closest tornado funnel, and I have pink and white insulation, roofing material, and a Snap-On 7/16" wrench land on my roof and yard.

    I'm just dumbstruck by the amount of sheer destruction.

    Praying for you, my wife is a survivor of the 1979 Wichita Falls Tx tornado. She was a child and walked out of the only house left standing in her neighborhood...she is still terrified to this day when the weather turns. These people need our prayers, and if you don't pray, consider helping in some other way....

    Thank God my Family and I made it through. I am thinking about taking up a collection to help the victims or help the red cross buy supplies for the victims. I would be giving any funds collected to my church to get to the proper place to get the best use of it. I started a thread on it http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=803604 let me know if that is something you all would be interested in doing.

    I came too close for comfort to the Sunday tornado within a few miles. When I get my boys today I will hug them extra long let them do and eat whatever they want, the picture is right before we went into safe room

  25. Hey, split51, if that is a Panther Pink RoadRunner, I believe I know your cousin! That did a number on his whole place. I am sorry for your cousins' loss, and am glad to hear that they are ok!
