There’s not much to say about the tornado that hit Picher on Saturday. This ravaged town already had so little. The twister flattened much of what was left, took 6 lives with it, and left I-don’t-know how many in the hospital. Soon I suppose the place will really be abandoned.Â
We’ll go ahead with our opening this Friday, stemming from the field trip we took in March, but man this is a sad week. I’ll drive down tomorrow to see what I can learn and how we can help. In the meantime, the gig on Friday will serve as a fund-raiser. There are lots of old people and little kids who ain’t got nothing down there right now–not as bad as Myanmar, but bad enough.
