Tornados don't discriminate- Woodward, OK.



I was raised near Woodward, OK. Around 12:30 a.m. it was hit by a tornado.

 A large portion of the town is demolished. It took so many of my friends' homes in its wake.

But then again, the tornado didn't know that.
It didn't know that it hurts me to see this town in shambles.
It didn't know that it would fill my dreams with terror to think about my family being less than a mile from it.

Tornados don't discriminate...

So sad! My hometown got hit, too... not quite that bad, though. At least you are safe!
All the victims will be in my prayers.

I heard about this this morning, I am so, so sorry! These types of disasters are so sad, and you are right, they don't discriminate or know what they will take down in their path! I'm thinking of you and all of your friends who lost something because of it!
