Cincinnati, OH, May 21, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Matthew 25 Responds as Devastating Tornadoes Cut a Path of Destruction Across the Midwest
Matthew 25: Ministries, a top-ranked international humanitarian aid and disaster relief organization headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio is preparing shipments of relief supplies for residents of Oklahoma, following the destruction caused by last evening’s tornadoes and the additional devastating storms today.
As many as 28 tornadoes were reported in Oklahoma, Kansas, Illinois and Iowa yesterday, according to the National Weather Service, with Oklahoma and Kansas hardest hit. At least two persons died and dozens were injured. An estimated 300 homes were damaged or destroyed across Oklahoma. Today, a massive tornado has ripped through the suburbs south of Oklahoma City.
Earlier today, the National Weather Service issued a tornado emergency for the Oklahoma City metro area. This is a rare warning from the weather service, one it issues only "when a severe threat to human life and catastrophic damage from a tornado is imminent or ongoing."
