Tornado Strikes Oklahoma - Find Out How You Can Help
My heart goes out to all those affected by the tornadoes in Oklahoma. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
A massive tornado more than a mile wide touched down in Oklahoma yesterday afternoon, tragically flattening a community of 41,000 just south of Oklahoma City and killing roughly 91 people, 20 of which were children.
Eye witnesses report that the tornado, which has received a preliminary rating of four out of five on the Enhanced Fujita Scale, traveled 20 miles at wind speeds of up to 200mph, tossing cars to and fro, crushing homes and demolishing buildings - including at least two schools. Hospitals reported at least 145 people injured, 70 of which were children. This tornado is the worst to hit the suburb since 1999 and officials from the National Weather Service warn that more could be on their way. Meanwhile, hundreds of people have lost their homes and many are out searching for loved ones.
My Date That Made History
So, this handsome, intelligent, kind, caring and charmingly quirky man decided he wanted to take me out on the town. I thought I could use some fun in my life, so I unabashedly accepted his invitation. He knows I am not fond of flowers (terrible allergies, ugh), so he showed up on my doorstep with a thoughtfully compiled mix tape (err, cd actually, but apparently mix tapes are a thing again).
Ready for an escapade, we hopped in his Escalade and rocked out to some sweet jams as he drove me – off the beaten path – to this remarkable hole-in-the-wall Vietnamese restaurant on the outskirts of downtown Houston. We enjoyed invigorating conversation, delectable Vietnamese dishes and fine Chinese beer.
to the wolrd!
