As an Oklahoma native, Blake Shelton was hit hard by the devastation left in the wake of a deadly tornado that claim the lives of so many and tore through the lives of countless more.
The country crooner and his wife Miranda Lambert performed a touching tribute to remember victims of Monday's disastrous tornado — which smashed through town only 100 miles away from their home.
The married duo sang a touching rendition of Over You— originally written for his late brother— to begin the results show on Tuesday's The Voice in an effort to inspire viewers to donate to the Red Cross and relief efforts for victim's families and those who survived the powerful natural disaster.
In the wake of the storm, Blake will put on a concert with the help of NBC to aid victims.
The singing competition judge explained:
Aw, what an unfortunate coincidence.
In the wake of yesterday's devastating tornado, CBS execs decided to pull the season finale of Mike & Molly (starring the ever lovely Melissa McCarthy) from Monday night's schedule, as the episode featured a (fictional) tornado hitting Chicago.
A CBS spokesperson said in a statement:
We're still in shock over the havoc the tornado has reeked in Oklahoma!
With the death toll at 24 and climbing, there is NO question the tornado that struck Oklahoma City suburbs — like Moore, Oklahoma — at more than 200mph was one of the most brutal tornados in history, but NOW we have footage of just how destructive the powerful natural killer was.
See the jaw-dropping videos of the lethal natural disaster and the painful aftermath…AFTER THE JUMP!!!
We previously mentioned that Justin Bieber missed his midnight deadline for getting back his monkey.
Now, Mally is a German.
But it might not be the end for Justin and his monkey! If he actually wants him.
German authorities said:
So, so sad!
In the wake of yesterday's tornado, Moore, the southernmost area of Oklahoma City, was “absolute chaos.”
Following the tornado’s destruction of two elementary schools — that left children trapped under the rubble — Emmy-winning reporter Lance West rushed to the scene to provide coverage for news station KFOR.
But even he couldn't keep from tearing up over the terrible destruction and rising death count.
He began:
"I've never seen anything like this in my 18 years covering tornadoes here in Oklahoma City. This is without question the most horrific — I've never seen…"
Ch-ch-check out the video (above) and listen to the heartbreaking report.
Our thoughts are with all those affected by this horrible tragedy.
This is so sad!
Zach Sobiech was just a normal 14-year-old teenager living in Minnesota when his doctors diagnosed him with osteosarcoma - a rare form of bone cancer.
After a long fight with the cancer, doctors told Zach he only had a few months to live. Zach turned to music and recorded a song called Clouds, a song about dealing with death, which has since gone viral and has been viewed by over three million fans!
So it is with a heavy heart that we bear the sad news that Zach passed away on Monday morning. He was 18 years old.
Here's what the Children's Cancer Research Fund said in a statement:
This is absolutely incredible.
We previously mentioned that a powerful tornado destroyed a large area of Moore, OK.
Dozens are dead and even more are left without homes.
It's an awful tragedy, but sometimes, there are a few rays of hope that shine through all the destruction.
A woman was giving a TV interview at her destroyed home, talking about how she lost her dog and knew he was buried under the rubble somewhere.
Then suddenly, one of the reporters spots something under some debris…
Her dog!!
The woman quickly goes over to help free her pup from under what was once her home.
Check out the video (above) to see dog and owner reunited live on the air!!
