I feel ya’ Mr. Conrad. I was working in the ER at the Healthplex in Norman that very day. I stood out front and saw that tornado smash the town of Moore which was a little over 6 miles north of where I was. Our sister hospital in Moore was demolished in that storm. Plaza Towers Elementary School (where those 7 children drowned) was less than a mile WSW of there. The school and the hospital both took a direct hit from that EF5 tornado, which stayed on the ground for 39 minutes over a 17-mile path, crossing through a heavily populated section of Moore.


Every day on this side of the ground is a win.
