5/20/2013 - TINKER  AFB, OK. -- A powerful tornado touched down about three 
miles  south of Tinker AFB hitting the town of Moore, OK, May 20.

The 507th Air  Refueling Wing Crisis Action Team was activated and 
initiated accountability of  all personnel assigned to the wing. The governor called 
up state National Guard  troops to assist in disaster response efforts.

"We are deeply devastated  by this tornado, and our heart and prayers go 
out to all families that have been  affected by this terrible event," said 
Col. Russell Muncy, 507ARW commander. "At  this time, we are attempting to 
determine the specific impact to our personnel,  their families and the local 
community."

The wing operates and maintains  12 KC-135R Stratotanker aircraft providing 
worldwide aerial refueling to US  military and NATO aircraft.
