Hi. I really love Esrey Park. That is one of my favorite places in Copper Country! Thank you for the reminder!
My heart goes out to the Oklahomans! I can't watch the coverage of the huge tornado in Moore without tears. I have been through there many times. I saw the huge tornado forming and dropping to the ground on live TV, thanks to the wonders of modern technology. I do have to wonder, though, why the schools there did not build tornado shelters after the May 3, 1999 big tornado that took a very similar path. I do hope they learn this time and build shelters for all of their schools; they have the support of the OK State Board of Education, I think. I heard several families say that they plan to build in ground shelters of their own after this monster. Hugs to them all! I can't even imagine wondering where one of my children is.
