I read where Gov. Henry is going to visit Pitcher.
To me, All that says is he is going there to RUBBER NECK, What can he do but get in the way of the rescue workers?.
Roads into Pitcher is closed to the public, that should also include him.

Please don't forget the Red Cross has already set up shop there and are still trucking in much needed supplies. There are a few other local churches doing the same.
If you have clothes, stuffed animals, monetary donations, prayers, even blood. Please get in touch with the appropriate agency and help out our neighbors in need.

NOW, Maybe those, who only a few days were whining and screaming about the weatherman cutting into their precious T.V. time,
I wonder what the death toll would have been if not for the storm warnings thanks KOTV That's a very good point, music man. I went to Picher early this morning and I thought the same as you. You are also correct about all the roads being closed going into Picher. They were preparing for a search of the area along with protecting people from down power lines and etc. The media was even being staged in a certain area because of all the carnage. My heart and prayers go out to everyone effected by this horrible disaster.

Thank you for telling us about the Paul Thomas Funeral Home. I was wondering about them. My mom said they now live at Loma Linda, and have built another home (I think)in Miami. Paul and Wanda have always been a great strength. We have considered them to be our family funeral home as well.
I have also heard the family name "Ragsdale" had a death as a result of the tornado. I do not know how many, but I took it to be only one death. Keeping Picher in my prayers....
