What a Natural Disaster in Oklahoma


Tornado in video
My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all the people of the suburb in Oklahoma City who suffered the massive tornado rip-off of an entire town. News has it that over 50 lives have been lost so far with search teams still looking and expecting the numbers to rise. This is by far one of the biggest natural disasters to had cause such a massive damage in recent years in the Midwest. President Obama declares a major disaster in Oklahoma yesterday and efforts are in place to rescue and help those helpless people. This is not a minor issue as lives, homes, businesses, and a whole neighborhood had been wiped down to ground level.

When you hear Oklahoma City you might as well want to remember the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing that claimed over 168 lives. But this one is a natural disaster called Tornado just so you don't mix it up.
Anyway, I was asked last night while the news was ongoing of the disaster if we have tornadoes in Ghana and my response was resounding yes but not as extreme as it is down here. Things get too intense here in town and that is frightening you know. For instance when cold, it's cold to extreme and when hot, man- you will get baked like a bread in an oven and that is the northern hemisphere for you pal.

Nonetheless the lost souls, we pray they find rest in perfect peace and all the lost homes may be able to recover as soon as they can. The human spirit by nature is very resilient and I have no doubt with government support they will be fine.
God bless them.
