N Texas Red Cross is worn out.

They were still working the tragedy in West Tx, then 16 tornadoes in N Texas.
Now this.

Today is shaping up for more of the same.

U of Oklahoma opened a lot of their housing facilities to those who needed shelter.

Walmart Emergency Center was loading trucks and contacting ‘associates’ in impacted areas. WMT is good about providing major help during such crises.

News9 TV station in OKC area was taking donations yesterday (food, money, basics). They said the money would be handed to the Red Cross for ‘use’.
