Thoughts and Prayers



As most people probably know  yesterday a horrific storm hit the Oklahoma City area. Personally I have always been fascinated by extreme weather and have done my fair share of watching storms over the years. Unfortunately what happened yesterday was a reminder of how terrifying and uncontrollable the weather can be sometimes. I happen to be lucky enough to live in an area where these types of storms are extremely rare compared to tornado alley but not completely unheard of. What happened yesterday though was one of those worst case scenarios that in this day and age was unpreventable unfortunately. I will continue to chase storms and share whatever knowledge I can with the local weather community around here. It probably will never amount to much but its the least I can do to hopefully in the future help try to find a way to prevent disasters like this from happening again. For now my thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by these storms and to recognize the heroes that have emerged during this tragic event. Here's hoping nobody sees another event like this one anytime soon. For now I just appreciate the safe and happy life my friends and family live knowing it could always be worse.
