A 17-year-old survivor of the April 2011 tornadoes is spearheading one of the local efforts to help Oklahoma residents after Monday’s deadly tornadoes. Megan Johnson, who graduates this week from Cordova High School, is rallying her community to prepare care packages that will be delivered to Oklahoma next week. Johnson’s home was among the many in Cordova affected by the tornadoes that hit the city two years ago. “When you watch it on TV and it hasn’t happened to you, you think, ‘Oh, those poor people.’ But when it has happened to you and you’ve seen your house on the hill with all of your stuff exposed, it hurts so much more because you know exactly what those people are going through,” Johnson said.
