“Pray,” said Miranda Lambert  who is a resident. “That's all we can do. Pray for peace for Oklahoma.”

Reba McEntire and Joe Don Rooney of Rascal Flatts also Oklahoma natives also sent prayers and well wishes and a tweet from Ronnie Dunn said, “Stopped to spend the night in Shawnee, OK. Just woke up to another tornado hitting Moore. Right in front of it!” Later he wrote, “We got out just before it hit. Those poor people. We will help when and where we can.”
