A family from the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma lost its home and most of its belongings in a tornado.

Susan Sleeper and her three children took shelter in a local high school when the tornado hit. “We could see the walls waving, just like someone was pushing them.” Sleeper told The Oklahoman.

The tribe is temporarily housing the family in a hotel.
