Loved this awkward exchange, when Wolf Blitzer rather mechanically tried to get an Oklahoma survivor to say she "thanked the Lord" for a split-second decision that averted death. Her giggly, gracious reply was goddamned hilarious...
I feel so sorry for the people affected by the Oklahoma tornado. I grew up in Michigan, where tornado drills at school were routine. We would go into the hallways and sit "Indian-style" in front of our lockers, heads in our laps, a thick schoolbook balanced over our heads and wait for the roof to be ripped off. It was terrifying, as was hearing the sirens go off when you were at home, necessitating a trip to the basement and long minutes of wondering whether the rest of the house would be standing when we emerged.
