Moore, Oklahoma

There were multiple devastating tornadoes today.  Most hard hit was Moore, Oklahoma, which was devastated in 1999 by a tornado.

The damage was massive, including 2 elementary schools, large stores, the medical center, and Interstate I-35.

There is little I can say tonight about how sickening the scenes are, how sad I am, how my heart goes out to the people affected, and my prayers are with them.

Once again, I feel very strongly that we need to put our money where our mouth is.  The Salvation Army http://salvationarmyokcac.org/ and American Red Cross http://www.redcross.org/ok/oklahoma-city are good choices. I have chosen Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma http://www.catholiccharitiesok.org/.

I am watching The Weather Channel http://www.weather.com/ coverage.  I have to wonder about the compassion fatigue that the weather reporters experience.
