Joe Don Rooney Finds Oklahoma Hometown In Ruins
When Joe Don Rooney of Rascal Flatts heard about the devastation from tornadoes in his hometown of Picher, Oklahoma, he immediately went out to offer his help. The town was completely destroyed and unlikely to be rebuilt. The former mining town was already having problems, including mine collapses, open shafts, acid water, and lead-contaminated waste. Oklahoma Gov. Brad Henry said money given to the families who lost their homes will be for relocation, not rebuilding. Rooney's family had previously moved away from Picher, but Joe Don is asking for help for the residents who lost property and loved ones in the deadly storm. He is asking fans to call the American Red Cross in Tulsa at 918-931-1225 to make donations. |
