Carrie Underwood grew up in Oklahoma. She knows whereof she sings. The song is very clear in its implications, which means that the sentiments are understandable.

Tornadoes are a fact of life in Oklahoma. Her song is not about them generally, but about sexual abuse specifically.

It’s an incredibly powerful song and video, I think she was deserving. The timing was a tad ironic though, yes.

Great song! I did think that it seemed quite ironic after the tornado though!
