Piled high amid a trail of destruction, these tragic horses are among more than 100 thought to have been killed in the Oklahoma tornado.
As well as human lives that were lost, farms around the suburb of Moore took a direct hit from the giant twister which swept up everything in its path with winds of more than 200mph and the power of up to 600 nuclear bombs.
Witnesses who cowered in terror described seeing ‘horses and stuff flying around everywhere’ and returning to find ‘scorched earth’ and crumpled buildings.
They came across distressing scenes of horses lying in the middle of the road, surrounded by piles of twisted metal and uprooted trees. Others were tangled in power lines.

The owners of the Orr family farm which sits on the Celestial Acres Thoroughbred training centre in Moore said debris from their property had been found 90 miles away in Tulsa.
Tony Vann, president of Vann & Associates, the public relations firm that represents the Oklahoma City area farm, told ESPN: ‘Right now we still don’t have any specific numbers [on how many horses have died].
‘It’s like a war zone here. [The horses] are just gone. It’s just scorched earth – like a bomb went off.’

He told new station KFOR: ‘It was unbearably loud. There were horses and stuff flying around everywhere. Just like the movie Twister.’
He said he immediately tried to free some of the horses on the ranch where he lives before hiding in the stall.
Shirtless and covered in mud, Mr Hite said the stalls collapsed on top of him as they were pummeled by the wind and a pick-up truck was pushed on top of the stable.
Mr Hite cared for 80 horses on the Orr Family Farm, a local tourist attraction, but believes that just one of the animals survived.
He said five sturdy barns, including one where he lived, were completely destroyed.

'We take some comfort in thinking that she and Emily were holding onto each other and not alone.'
The little girls were, Ms Candelaria said 'inseparable in life.'
They had long been best friends at Plaza Towers Elementary where both were in the third grade.
When the Conatzers moved into the Candelaria's neighborhood last year they were, Ms Candelaria said 'just never apart.'
Now the families who were once bonded simply by their daughters' friendship are united in the bitter blessing of having each found and lost a child in the storm that leveled a swathe of Moore, Oklahoma.

Antonia was the middle child of three – her little sister, Lillian, is four months old and her older, Trinity, is 10.
Trinity was pulled from the rubbled of Plaza Towers by her father, Jimmy Rosson, who helped save several children in his hunt for his girls.
Emily Conatzer was one of two girls – her little sister, Luci, was also rescued and returned to her parents, 'a little bit banged up but otherwise fine.'
Ms Candelaria said: 'I don't remember exactly how it happened. I was at home with my youngest and we stayed together when the Tornado hit.
'As soon as it was over me and Jimmy and the baby got out of our house and looked across to the Conatzers.

'Her husband was working on getting them out – they were okay but they were trapped a while.'
The parents were, Ms Candelaria said, 'just frantic' to get to the school where both had two daughters.
The first to be found was the Conatzer's youngest, then Trinity Candelaria.
Ms Candelaria said: 'Jimmy brought Trinity back to me and wanted to go and carry on searching for Antonia but when he went back they stopped them digging.
'They stayed looking as long as they could but they couldn't get to them – they couldn't get to my little ladybug or Emily.'
Her voice cracking, wrung out with grief, Ms Candelaria said: 'That's what she was – my little Ladybug.
'My other girls are my Lovebugs. She'd just recently become a big sister and she loved it, she loved spoiling her little baby sister.
'She had such a beautiful innocence about her, such a whole different way of looking at things. You'd think ‘How in the world did she come up with that?’ Then you'd think about it and it would make a kind of sense.'
Ms Candelaria, herself a state employee, praised the teachers who helped rescue her eldest child.
Questions have been asked as to why Plaza Towers Elementary and Moore Elementary, both razed by the storm, did not have underground bunkers or safe spaces built into the fabric of the schoolhouses. Such measures could have been the difference between life and death for those trapped within.

Ms Candelaria said: 'There's a lot of questions as to why things happened the way they happened but now isn't the time for pointing fingers or laying blame.
'We have to do what we can for our little girls. There are so many stories we have to share with each other, so many memories or our beautiful ladybug.
'Her service is tomorrow and all the prayers and memories people have shared means so much.'
As does the thought that, as the storm raged, her little girl was not entirely alone.
Ms Candelaria said: 'I couldn't be there with her but she was with her best friend and now she's still with her best friend and knowing that helps a bit.'
Kristen Strickland Conatzer shared her grief for little Emily online.
Writing on Facebook yesterday she said: ‘Today was the day that no parent wants to encounter, the words you never want to hear as a parent.
‘Our baby didn’t make it. I am overwhelmed by the support that is pouring in from all of my friends, family and Facebook family. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Others rushed to pay tribute to the two little girls and spoke about their lovely enduring friendship.
Antonia’s uncle Paul Rosson wrote yesterday: ‘Thanks everyone for your prayers and thoughts. We are doing the best we can considering. They found her this morning holding her best friends hand. They went to heaven together so they didn’t have to be alone.’
All seven children who died at the school have now been identified and all came from the same third grade class. Taking shelter in the basement it is believed many drowned in water from leaking pipes.
The other five were named as Janae Hornsby, Sydney Angle, Nicolas McCabe and Christopher Legg and eight-year-old Kyle Davis
It was initially reported that the children died from drowning, but officials said the causes of death were mechanical asphyxiation, which is suffocation after being crushed by a heavy object.
The chief of the Moore Fire Department officially called off the search at the site of the school today.
They combed the debris three times and discovered no further victims beyond the seven discovered earlier in the week.
Of the remaining 17 victims Terri Long, 49, Shannon Quick, 40, Jenny Neely, 38, and Cindy Plumley and Deanna Ward, whose ages are unknown, also lost their lives.

When there are no words, there are tears.
May 23, 2013 / 14 Sivan 5773
by Sara Debbie Gutfreund
www.aish.com/ci/s/Oklahoma-Tornado.html
I'll never forget the first time my daughter saw a homeless person sleeping in a cardboard box on the sidewalk in Manhattan. We were in a rush to meet friends at a restaurant, and I was winding our way through the crowds of pedestrians when I felt my daughter tug at my arm.
"Mommy, look. This man needs help. He's sleeping in a box! We have to stop! We have to give him something to eat. Or some money. Or both."
I didn't stop. I mumbled something about there being hundreds of homeless people sleeping on rags on every corner in the city. We can't feed all of them. We can't stop every time we see them. We were late.
I walked quicker and told her not to stare. But she couldn't seem to tear her eyes away every time we passed another homeless person on the next few corners. By the time we arrived at the restaurant, my daughter was almost in tears. I tried to explain to her that there were shelters and food kitchens and ways that we could think of to help without stopping every time we saw someone begging for money.
But the tears rolled down her cheeks anyway. "I'm just so sad for them. Why do some people have to live like that?"
I didn't have an answer, but suddenly, I wanted to cry with my daughter. When did I lose my ability to feel another's pain? When did I start to look away from suffering?
Sometimes there are no words. But there are tears. When the pain and the devastation are beyond what we can fathom, we may not be able to do say anything. We may not be able to do anything. But we can feel each other's pain. We may have no words, but we still have tears.
The Oklahoma tornado that hit leaves us speechless. The storm was 22 miles long with 200mph winds that devastated the town of Moore, Oklahoma, flattening homes, a hospital and two elementary schools.
At least 24 people were killed including nine children and the number of fatalities is expected to rise as the rescue teams search for survivors. Over a hundred people have been pulled alive from the rubble.
Plaza Towers elementary school was completely leveled, and parents walked for miles through the town's rubble to reach their children who were being pulled out of the debris. Neighborhood volunteers and parents formed a line to help pass the rescued children from one set of arms to another until all the surviving children had been carried to the triage center set up in a nearby parking lot.
One of the sixth grade teachers at Plaza Tower elementary school heroically lay down on top of her students to shield them from the rubble. "I was in a bathroom stall with some kids and it just started coming down, so I laid on top of them. I never thought I was going to die. The whole time I just kept screaming to them, 'We're going to be fine, we're going to be fine, I'm protecting you." All of Rhonda Crosswhite's students are now safe, and their parents credit their children's survival to their teacher's amazing courage.
There were tearful reunions at the elementary schools as parents searched frantically for their children and sobbed uncontrollably once they found them. For the parents whose children did not survive, the night was endless as they ran across the debris in a panic, holding onto their last vestiges of hope until the bodies were found. Whole city blocks were destroyed beyond recognition. Cars were tossed into trees and crumpled into piles. People's homes were reduced to splinters of wood in a matter of seconds.
There is no power and no water. There are hundreds of people still unaccounted for as the disaster teams try to clear away the rubble and treat the injured.
A family of four, including their baby, died in their home as they attempted to seek shelter in their freezer.

The videos and photos of this devastating storm leave all of us without words. The thousands of people who are now homeless. The hundreds of people who cannot find their loved ones. The parents who lost their children. The town that has just been leveled to an unrecognizable pile of rubble. We may not be able to run and help. We may not be able to stop at every street corner. But we can feel the pain of the loss. We can stop for a moment and consider the enormity of the devastation.
There may be no answers. But there are tears. Our hearts go out to the town of Moore, Oklahoma as they struggle to pick up the pieces. We pray that more survivors will soon be found, and we pray for the recovery of the injured. May their homes, their schools, and their hospitals be rebuilt quickly and may they find comfort from their losses. Don't look away from those who are suffering even if there is nothing we can do, but cry with them. Even if just for a moment. We can't lose that sense of compassion that made my daughter stop in her tracks on the streets of Manhattan. We can't forget to feel for those who no longer have roofs over their heads as we sit in our own homes.
In a place of no words, there is the human heart. Feeling and grieving and breaking when we are faced with such an unbelievable sense of loss. And even when that is all we have to give, it is sometimes exactly what those who are suffering need the most.
