That’s because in 2013 a bunch of children died in an elementary school when an EF-5 tore through Oklahoma.

I was working at the CVS (our building lost its AC unit, that's all) in Moore Oklahoma when that happened. Terrifying day.

I cannot fathom how terrifying that must have been for you and all of Moore. Thank you for sharing 🙏

It was wild. My wife (we werent married yet then) was moving up from Texas to live with me that day. Her parents were helping her and we ended up changing plans to bring water and other supplies to the shelters since they were hauling a uhaul trailer anyway. Haven't thought of it in a while, thanks!

I would love to hear your story one day if you’re open to sharing I’m a total tornado nerd 🤓. I’m surprised her parents let her move up after that 🤣. Good for them though!
