MOORE, Okla. -- Oklahomans are always quick to lend a helping hand anytime there is a disaster. Now, they are the ones welcoming in outsiders.
Phil Cross from our sister station in Oklahoma City shows us how more and more people from across the country are coming to Oklahoma, even as some of the national attention fades from their tragedy.
For the organization Operation Blessing International, responding to disasters is a calling, a mission of mercy in the midst of often troubled times.
"When you see people in need, there's something inside you that has to help, that wants to help and wants to help them through the most difficult times of their lives," said Jody Gettys with Operation Blessing International. "There are so many negative things we can look at that are going on in our economy and in our country, but during disasters you see the best in Americans. You see the best in people."
Regardless of backgrounds or beliefs, it seems the worst of situations also brings out the best in ourselves.
Operation Blessing International says they supervised 1,100 volunteers Tuesday and sent out hundreds more Wednesday.
Operation Blessing International is just one organization helping out, although there are dozens of charities that are doing the same work all throughout the tornado-damaged areas of Oklahoma.
