Moscow, Ohio. The tornado aftermath.

I went into the over half destroyed town of Moscow, Ohio today. If you are not aware it is a small river town that got hit by a EF3 or close to EF4 tornado. As I walked into town all I seen were people working to rebuild and people standing around offering water or fresh cooked food. This little town is resilient to say the least. It was an odd feeling being there. There is a mixture of sorrow and hope both floating in the air at the same time. The thing I seen that made me step back for a moment was a child playing in the debris of what used to be his yard. I did not attempt to capture that for privacy reasons and legal reasons, but it was a strong moment.

I walked from one end of town to the other and you can almost see exactly where the tornado came from and went to. It is an amazing site. I only stayed for about an hour. I did not want to make people feel as if I were intruding. On the way out I stopped by the smallest church I could find and talked to the pastor who was standing outside offering water and food for free. Instead of taking anything from him I gave him all the money in my pocket and told him to give it to who ever he wants or spend it on more resources. They need it more than I do. We take for granted what we have and today was a wake up call for me personally. If you can I would ask you to donate what ever you can to the town.

Here are 15 images from what I seen.
