DUNCAN Okla_ A Duncan man and his search dog are weary Tuesday, after
they were two of the first responders in Moore.
They're back
home after hours of searching through the rubble. Michael Floyd said he and his
dog, Tag, arrived in Moore
around 6:30 PM Monday. He said the scene was like a war zone, and the streets
were filled with mounds of rubble at least six feet high.
Floyd has been working as a first responder for almost two decades, but
he said he saw something Monday that will haunt him forever.
"The
parents were waiting for their children, because they didn't recover bodies,"
Floyd said. "They had to move the heavy equipment in. The parents that were
waiting, they knew the fate of their child. You could see that sorrow, but
every time someone would move a rock, they would look to see if it was their
child that popped out of there. That's probably something I will never forget."
Floyd said he
and Tag searched for hours but did not find anyone. He said he thinks it's
going to take large equipment to move the heavy rubble to find anyone else.
Tonight on 7News at 6, hear how he thinks Monday's damage compares to the
May 3rd, 1999 storm. You'll also see what lesson he said Oklahomans should
learn from both tornados.
