I know that this is the story that the mother has.....but the description in the story does not match.

Prayers and thoughts for all in Oklahoma and the rest of tornado alley

I love it that she saved her daughter, but hate it that the News Jackals stuck a microphone in her face and badgered her into talking when she was still in the grip of heart-rending fear.

Thank you, Jesus, for the precious lives saved; gather to yourself, in Your mercy, the lost.

Child protective services are on their way as we speak. I honestly believe she will get a visit. It is a crazy world out there but she would have been better off keeping her mouth shut about this. Why did she need to speak to the press about this???
