OK Tornado tragedy reflection

Tue, 21 May 2013 12:39:00 GMT

The tornado tragedy in Oklahoma deeply saddens me, especially for the loss of life of those young children. My desire to forecast and study storms was borne out of fear; but used now to help save lives so that we don't have repeats of last night.
