Tornado miracles

Week of May 26
Looking at the complete devastation left by the Tornado which obliterated 17 miles of Moore
Oklahoma May 21, the mayor said, "it is a wonder anybody survived this."

Twenty four didn't, including nine children, but 22,000 who live and work
in the area leveled are still with us.

 Teachers were laying on top of third graders while their school is demolished. Day care workers held carts over preschoolers, and fireman dug with their hands to find survivors covered with four feet of debris. These are all miraculous moments,

One account we found particularly touching was a young  pregnant woman. She said the nurses sedated her when the storm approached the hospital and stayed with her throughout the ordeal. They saved me and my baby she said. The hospital is no more.

She was taken to another facility and the baby was successfully delivered. The nurses dubbed the eight pound boy, "Twister." But the grateful mother had the final say appropriately naming her new son, Emanuel, which means God with us.
