He\u2019s fine.\u00a0 So that\u2019s the good news.<\/p>\n

Sadly, at least 51 people are dead and most of them are children killed when the tornado (according to Fr. Shane, perhaps the largest one ever recorded) struck the elementary school they were in.\u00a0 The tornado was two and a half miles wide (!!!) and remained on the ground for an hours.\u00a0 The devastation is reportedly horrrendous.<\/p>\n

No doubt my Patheos colleague Rebecca Hamilton <\/a>will have more information as things develop.\u00a0 Meanwhile pray for the people of Oklahoma touched by this colossal storm.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
