Oklahoma City

I understand that all of our lives have to end.

51 people - including 20 children - have been confirmed to have met that end in the path of Monday's F4 tornado that ripped through a suburb of Oklahoma City. With 200+ mph windspeeds and a girth of a mile, it destroyed everything it came in contact with. I'm reminded of Scott Thomson's character 'Preacher' Rowe (Twister) describing a massive tornado, calling it: "The Finger of God."

As our lives continue, let us take a moment of silence to remember those that did not, and those that will never be the same.
