My heart goes out the families affected by yesterday's devastating tornado in Moore, Oklahoma. I remember well what it's like living in a twister's path. Growing up in Iowa, we knew exactly what to do when those ominous black funnels came ripping toward us. But nothing prepares you for the chaos and destruction left behind.
