“God is in control. There’s no reason why our church should be standing after what happened in Barnsdall Sunday night,” the priest told CNA

The tabernacle of St. Mary's in Barnsdall, Oklahoma, remained untouched despite widespread damage to the surrounding area after a tornado touched down on May 6.

The National Weather Service in Tulsa concluded that the May 6 tornado that hit Barnsdall was an EF4, with wind speeds between 165 and 175 mph. It cut a 39-mile path of destruction, causing severe damage to trees, homes and businesses, including a local refinery plant that provides many local jobs. The damage was so severe that the tornado’s path was visible from space.
