I was very surprised at the news that a monster tornado more than a mile wide flattened hundreds of homes and 2 schools and killed more than 20 people in an Oklahoma City suburb I am at a loss for words I would like to express my deepest con-dolence and sympathy to all those affected by the killer tornado

Please send my condolence and sympathy to Pilots of Arkansas-Oklahoma District
