I saw the May 5th tornado in Oklahoma City. It was over a mile wide and looked like a black wall coming at you. Wiped out half the south side of OKC and totally destroyed Moore. The city went under marshal law and the national guard totally shut the south side down for three days. You should have seen it, all the cars evacuating north and the sky was orange from all the gas line fires. Total panic. All power phone etc was down for days. Two of my brothers were forced to walk out of Moore with their families to my mom's house in SW OKC. The roads were all closed from the police and national guard. The General Motors plant were my dad works was also hit and with no phones we didn't know if he survived. My poor mother thought most of our family had been killed that day but luckily no one was seriously hurt but my brother lost his house. Very scary stuff.
