  1. I am from Shawnee, and am a Monk at St.Gregory's Abbey, in Shawnee. I am in Lawton with a broken leg, so I was not in Shawnee, at time the storms hit. I am praying for all of Oklahoma, and especially, my Brothers at The Abbey. May The Lord hear our cries and restore our land. In Jesus Christ Name we Pray, Amen. Brother James Kendall Moore OSB OFS OSC ✝️

  2. Beard, Broadway, main, ect. are in the older more histrionic part of town, near Kickapoo, and O.B.U. campuses. The worst tornado to hit Shawnee, hit the same areas, back in the 1920s.

  3. Ed is the best mayor we've had & he takes the BEST pictures of my kid in her cosplay. My house has damage & trees uprooted laying on down power lines. So many others have it worse than I or the mayor do. I'm thankful for everyone helping & working non-stop to help our city.

  4. There are hundreds of people out of work due to the businesses that were destroyed. This isn't a huge town & those employment losses are a hit to the local economy. Lowe's, Big Lots, Staples, stores out at the mall, Braum's, Dillard's…the list is extensive. They will need financial support while rebuilding. What needs to be done for them? And what about the nursing homes that were destroyed? One of them was an older facility & may have to be completely torn down & rebuilt. Where will the residents go? This is a bit more serious than was presented.

  8. I like how he only shows his neighborhood that was barely affected. Kickapoo was hit hard and he's all about the big trees he can replant…no wonder there's so many crackheads in Shawnee. Guy has his head straight up his ass
