Pray for {Oklahoma}
Today, the entire nation is praying for Oklahoma while they deal with the effects of yesterday's tornado.
A tornado ripped through Moore, OK yesterday afternoon, destroying dozens of buildings and homes, including two elementary schools.
The tornado is reported to have been 2 miles wide - y'all, that's HUGE!
The National Weather Service put the tornado at EF-4, with winds up to 200mph.
The death toll had been reported to be at 51, with twenty of those being children. However, the death toll has been revised down to 24, and at least 240 people are injured.
If you or anyone you know are looking for loved ones, you can call the patient care hotline at moore Medical Center: 405.307.1366.
