Hi -
I appreciated your note.
No, I've NEVER been in a Level 5 tornado before. As is
being said repeatedly, here, in Oklahoma we are used
to winds ... maybe at Level 2 (100 miles per hour) on
occasion ... which means you loose glass, maybe loose
a roof .... but not the degree of destruction that has
occured now.
Four years ago, I was in the path of "just-high-winds"
which whipped to 105 miles per hour ... and it was
wild and crazy sounding inside my house. I literally
heard every roof shingle lift and slap down in
succession. It was like an old 30-40's B grade "thriller"
movie when a storm comes up. When it was all over,
the fences from one end of my housing block to the other
were gone ... snapped. And people with metal carports
didn't have them anymore ... the carport was somewhere
else! The second story apartment complex nearby had a
roof lifted off.
This was different. A tornado is a wind that travels
relatively slow (about 30-35 mph) with winds whipping
inside (in this case at 300+) miles per hour. It is a
natural force that pulls at everything in sight. So
the rubble is like something that has pulled - every
blade of grass, every tree (including limbs and in
some cases every tree out of the ground). I have
experienced tornados and winds ... BUT NOT THIS
KIND.
As I mentioned the death toll is at 41 and there are
still 13 missing. This is worse than a war zone
bombed area, my opinion, in that bomb zones make
more sense ... there is a central drop with radiation
pattern out ...
Not in a tornado ... there is almost no radiation
pattern ... there is total destruction without rhyme
or reason ... and debre from the storm that covers
many many square miles. People 100 miles away find
somebodys birth certificate or bill ... or something
else.
One of my co-workers, she was at her mothers home ...
on the outer edge of the path. The house was somewhat
standing ... she was there with her husband and child
(all of which had seperate cars so there were four
cars in the drive) and when it was over ... there
were 8 cars in her mothers yard (four picked up
and carried there and slammed down) ... and
she took her mother and her mothers neighbors
home with her ... there's seventeen people in the
house where four were living.
There has been talk of evacuting all of the City of
Moore because of the number of water and gas mains
broken ... that's about 50,000 people.
It is an incredible natural disaster. The only natural
disaster comparable of which I've read was the hurricane
which hit Galveston Texas near the turn of the century.
But overall, it affected a very few people in comparison.
I will respond to other's kind notes.
Thanks
- Carol

Carol, Thanks for sharing your experience. Here in Nevada we get high winds
but nothing like this. It is really amazing to see what mother nature can do
when all of the ingredients come together. It was certainly not your time
but it was your experience. Have you ever been in anything like this before?
Do you still have a home or is it just wind damaged? Yes, as you say keeping
in the balanced state was a good test of your faith, what went through your
mind? Gloria
