Moore Residents Begin Painful Recovery From Massive Tornado Strike

MOORE, OK - MAY 22: Seven crosses sit along the curb in front of what was once the home of Scott and Julie Lewis before it was destroyed by a tornado on May 23, 2013 in Moore, Oklahoma. The crosses were placed in memory of the seven children from Plaza Towers Elementary School who lost their lives in the tornado. As the tornado approached Scott Lewis drove to the school and picked up his Zack, who attended 3rd grade at Plaza Towers, and brought him to their storm shelter. Most of the children who died at the school were classmates of Zack. A two-mile wide EF5 tornado touched down in Moore May 20 killing at least 24 people and leaving behind extensive damage to homes and businesses. U.S. President Barack Obama promised federal aid to supplement state and local recovery efforts. (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)
