14 years ago today, tornadoes struck Moore and Oklahoma City, causing devastation and heartbreak for so many.

Poem Artwork

... I wasn't there.  But I was,
in a way, transported there
by the miracle (curse?) of

television --- I felt the panic
as I watched the black
clouds lower and raced

towards me.  Heard the
fear as Gary England said
to 'Get below ground.'  

Dear Lord.  The wind
came sweeping down the
Plains and into my living

room:  breaking news
that broke my heart as I
prayed it wouldn't come

here.  Fourteen years
later, I still remember ---
welcome to The Alley.

Yes, Karla. I remember watching it on TV myself that day. I also remember when I was ordered to Fort Sill less than 4 years later I was worried about tornadoes. But while I was stationed at the fort there were none to be found; thank God.

Welcome to the alley, indeed. If we counted up the death and destruction over the years that tornadoes have caused it would be a most monumental thing. A tornado when she was a child that killed many farm animals and destroyed many homes and barns remains etched in my mother's mind as a lasting memory.

And that was in central Wisconsin…
