Monday May 20

This afternoon a HUGE tornado hit Moore, Oklahoma.  The news reports are 24-7 on both TV and radio.  One of the major targets was an elementary school.  Initial death count was around 90, then the news reports were saying 54 dead.  The rescue personnel are still trying to clear the debris and hope to find more people alive.  The location of the tornado devastation was a good 90 miles from Watonga, so we are grateful the storms missed us.  But our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Moore and the rescue personnel that are helping down there.  This evening's weather reports are that the stormy weather and possible tornado activity have moved southeast, toward Arkansas and southeast Oklahoma.  The weather here today is actually very nice, with a high temperature of 85 degrees and a little bit of wind.
