Ok tornado

[Anonymous]

Just heard from my sister that the big tornado that just went through near ok city wipes out their entire area. The school on the news is the school
My nephews go to. They're all ok, but the area is wiped out. School, church, entire subdivisions.
Hope everyone else is alright

Glad your family is OK.
I'm sick of looking at pictures of debris fields.
I'm hearing TV news use the term "massive" and that's never good when the subject is tornados.
Best wishes and prayers for Oklahoma.

This is bad, and it appears more to come. Everybody be careful

Everyone on my family side is accounted for. They're headed into the damage to help search. Several of their friends families haven't been heard from yet. There were kids in the school when it got hit. Pray for the area

I am very grateful that your family is OK. I am so sick about what happened to the school. The children, faculty and their families are in my prayers.
I am having a hard time wrapping my head around this. : (

Been watching it on the TV. I am sick to my soul over what those parents will go through this day! :frowns:

I pray for God's grace to help them all through what is to come.

Tornados usually hit a small area and they're gone. These storms were big and wide. I've heard as much as two miles wide, though reports of a mile wide are more common. That really ups the chances of getting hit. Makes it more like a hurricane, hitting everyone.
I heard of 300 ???? dead horses in the OKC burbs???

This is sad. My heart aches and my stomach is sick. I pray for all affected

She's at the school helping first responders now. It's not looking good.

I just heard 24 children at the school. Pray for the parents. Hook, I'm glad you are in contact with yours and they are ok

I'm on the edge of tears from relief and from grief. I don't know why but my 3 nephews weren't at the school at the time. I'm just getting bits and prices of relayed info now because the cell towers being down and the overload.

Tough one. Prayers all around.

I just got in and started reading and watching all this. I just text Iso and he is still ok but in a warning right now, keep him and our other OK friends in your prayers. Anyone else checked in?

I'm with you on that 3way. There are some people really hurting tonight.

Hook I'm glad your family is ok.

It went about 7 miles SE of us. When you get in to F4-F5 tornadoes you don't have much chance unless you are below ground.

We saw an F1 out our back window over twenty years ago....missed us but killed some neighbors.....
still the sound and the fury of it was awesome....
Wife and I can not sleep thru a thunderstorm to this day.....
I cannot imagine the terror and devastaion of an f5 a mile or more wide....

Tragic. Our prayers go out to the folks in that area.

Glad your folks are accounted for, Hook! Sending prayers for all those affected.
