On May 20th 2013 Moore, OK was rocked by one of the most destructive tornadoes in all of history but for seven-year-old Mikey and his big brother Kevin it was just another seventh birthday. As told through the eyes of a teenager Kevin shares the day that the tornado ripped through their town but more the affect it had on him and his little brother as it ripped through their lives. He remembers the day as if he were stuck living it every moment. From singing happy birthday and sharing cupcakes with Mikey’s class to the roof of the elementary school being torn off and tossed into the eye of the storm. Both boys remember watching “The Wizard of Oz” as kids and thinking that tornadoes were so cool, that they had the power to take you to a magical place, but in the wake of the real thing the innocence of a child’s imagination is lost, blown away with the rubble. It is a touching story of brotherly love and how a deadly tornado can truly put life into perspective, even for a child and his big brother.
