Numerous communities across the Midwest faced traumatic severe weather events this past weekend. On April 26, tornadoes across Nebraska and Iowa destroyed homes and shook communities across the region. The following day in Oklahoma, another string of tornadoes made a devastating mark — leaving 100 people injured and four killed.
The Mid-America MHTTC sends an outpouring of compassion and condolences to the members of these communities, and we wish you nothing but strength and hope as you move forward.
