By Aaron Holm -
Yesterday was another tough day for the soul to bare. Mother nature showed some of its worst to the people of Oklahoma as tornadoes tracked up and down the landscape. Entire sections of towns were wiped from the Earth, and no area hit harder than the city of Moore, OK. Situated between Oklahoma City and the home of the University of Oklahoma in Norman, Moore is a town of just over 56 thousand people. No story here is worse than that coming from Plaza Towers Elementary School in Moore. As a father of a kindergartner, these are the images nightmares are made of. I can only imagine what some of these parents are going through right now.
Once again Wilderness we are reminded that hockey, or sports in general take a back seat at times like this. Our thoughts go out to our friends in Oklahoma and anywhere affected by these devastating storms rolling through the plains the last couple days.
