WEATHER HEADLINESOur thoughts and prayers go out to all of the families who live in Moore, Oklahoma as a monster EF5 tornado packing winds between 200-210 mph roared through the city on Monday, pulverizing block after block of homes and demolishing the walls of an elementary school. Plaza Towers Elementary School was completely destroyed. Crews were frantically searching an estimated 30 square miles of wreckage and only beginning to get a sense of the destruction. Hospitals reported over 200 injured. The tornado struck at mid-afternoon and tore a 17-mile path that was 1.3 miles wide. It was on the ground for approximately 40 minutes. Much of the storm’s rampage was captured on live television, perhaps alerting people in its path to seek shelter.
Be sure to always have survival kits in your home and car.
