May 3rd Tornado

8 years ago a series of tornados ripped thru Oklahoma. I remember watching on TV when the tornado was 15 miles outside Oklahoma City moving NE. (Later the damage to OKC alone was 1 billion dollars) The view I had was from the air as a local news chopper was flying around the tornado that was about 1 mile wide. The news weather men were credited with saving countless lives (even though 45 died). The tornado that hit okc was an F5 with winds reaching 300+ miles an hour.

It pulled the grass from the earth in it's path.

My friend Paul was with his family (Paul is the pastor of WCC in the previous post) and the were in the closet as their house was shaking as the tornado was very close.
Incredible footage

My friend Jeff was on staff at a church that was destroyed later that day in Tulsa (110 miles away from okc) and his church discovered what church meant. As a result, Jeff's life was changed and he planted Agora.
