Like most Oklahoma natives, Roy Williams knows firsthand what a tornado can do to a community.
“It’s mind-blowing. It’s sad,” said Williams, a former Oklahoma Sooner and five-time Pro Bowl safety for the Dallas Cowboys. “Seeing it in person versus watching it on TV is amazing.
“It’s hard. It just hurts. Sometimes, just being a body there and embracing them and hugging them and saying it will be OK is all you can do.”
After visiting the devastation in Moore, Okla., Williams also knows that while Mother Nature can tear down walls, it can’t take away a community’s spirit.
