Oklahoma tornado tragedy

AI Summary

A group of automotive industry professionals responds to a devastating tornado in Moore, Oklahoma, sharing condolences, donation methods, and personal accounts of the disaster's impact. The thread highlights both the scale of destruction—with one commenter witnessing the tornado firsthand while at a dealership—and the industry's compassionate response, particularly a relief fund initiated by a Cars.com sales rep that raised over $50,000 for affected dealers and residents. The overarching message emphasizes community resilience and the power of collective action during tragedy.

I was at Bob Moore Ford, standing on the the showroom floor, and watched the tornado cross I35 into the residential area. I was to be there for a week consulting with the dealership. I returned to Dallas on Tuesday night.
I believe that the death toll remains at 24 but seeing the destruction it is a miracle that it wasn't far more. The damage is far worse than the pictures on TV. It was heart breaking to see all of those people that have lost everything.
 
Oklahomans are resilient. It's quite impressive.

This fund was started by one of our Sales Reps and her husband (who works for Cars.com). Kudos to Nicole and the Oklahoma Cars.com folks for lending a helping hand and heart to local dealers.
