Tuesday at 7:57 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplySo many tragedies, both man-made and of nature have happened back to back, from the marathon bombing in Boston, to the fertilizer plant explosion in the town of West, TX, to tornadoes in Texas and now Oklahoma. People can sometimes get numb after hearing about so much tragedy. But we must remain prayerful, and continue to help people in any way we can with our time, service, finances. God bless all these hurting people.

Monday at 8:55 PM Report abuse Permalink +1 rate up rate down ReplyDan, we had cellars coming up, but they covered most up as they became snakepits
Some have them still and some have storm rooms build in their house but not everyone can afford that.
GOD BLESS the people in the storms path.
Wow...I hadn't thought of that...snakes would take up housekeeping in dark/damp places...but how could school builders NOT at least be required to have some kind of safe area for the kids? Or a community shelter that would be maintained snake/vermin free by the city or local churches. These people had at least a 15 minute warning and could have been protected. So sad...
