Picher, OK

A few weeks ago my family and I went to Picher, OK to help my Great Uncle move to Miami. I thought it was so sad that it used to be such a popular town and now there is just nothing left. I made this video a few days after I got home. This morning I saw that a tornado pretty much destroyed everything there. I was so happy to find out that my Uncle was safe in Miami. I remembered this video, and I thought I would post it.
