I was actually wondering if that was what I really saw!

I was overwhelmed by the needs of Oklahoma during this heartbreaking period, alarmed that this was actually Oklahoma, and knew that is not going to be easy to clean up, and I took great pride in the people that were able to help out there in the rain and the mud.

I sat in stunned silence. Several times I had to cover my mouth to keep from moaning out loud while I listened and watched the TV footage.

My heart was in my throat and several times I had to close my eyes at the sheer tragedy of all of the damage.

I was overcome with tears and filled with pride when I saw the elderly couple being rescued by the police chopper, then it turned to complete horror!

I was appalled by the helicopter rescue. My son was in here with me and I was like OH MY GOD, why are they gripping her arms like that and dragging them across the water! I was afraid they were going to rip off those two people's legs! They should have had some ropes or flotation devices. The water didn't appear deep when the people kept falling back into it.

I was thinking that any moment they were going to rip a severe gash in their bodies from debris in the water.

I am saddened......and in tears for our beloved Oklahoma.
