Lord bless them!

They are reporting now at the school it's not a search for missing, but rather recovering bodies of the kids. Possibly as many as 30. :(
|
There is going to be at least 100 people killed in this storm. It's a damn shame. At least it happened during the day and not the middle of the night, it made the rescue effort start faster and be more effective
|
Had to find me a hiding hole as well.
|
I've heard the number has risen to 91 confirmed and 230+ injured. Hope none of you guys have family in the area. Take care of yourselves if/when the storms head your way.
|
I found a quick way to help, even if it's just a little. If you text "REDCROSS" to "90999" it will send $10 to American Red Cross Disaster Relief fund. I did, it's quick, easy and you know every little bit will help those families in need with food, water etc! C'mon we can all afford $10 bucks!

I'm from ok. Friends lost some houses. Thankfully they had insurance. The tornado was just so sudden. It literally built in 30min.
|
Not sure if any of you guys saw this video shot by Reed Timmer, the well known stormchaser, but watch about 20 seconds into the video. While driving the TIV, the tornado passes right on top of them. By far one of the scariest sounds I have ever heard....
On his Facebook page Sunday and again this morning, he said out of ALL tornados he has intercepted in his 15 years of chasing, the power and destruction of the two that hit Moore and Edmond, OK are unmatched by anything else he has experienced. |
I don't know how anyone could ride in that truck with Reed Timmer longer than 5 minutes and not want to punch him square in the face. He is SO obnoxious.

Either way, what he is doing with stormchasing and data gathering is helping in a way far beyond his own good. |
5PointSLow who is a member on here actually had his house descimated in the Moore tornado yesterday. Luckily his wife and daughter, who was in one of the schools, are safe and sound. He is currently on his way back from Bahrain. I can only imagine how he felt after hearing about what happened.
|
I was just talking to some coworkers about how bad it would suck to be the parents and be completely helpless. Having a kid that age really puts things into perspective, I feel for all those who lost loved ones.

Oklahoma just got hit HARD
Hey guys I'm in prosper now. Ill be dragging my ass outta bed here in a bit to shower and head up to the house. I'm going to be attempting to get the car outta tithe garage and load up what we can to take down here. I have the pics up on SVTP, but ill bring them over here and put them in the pics section for those that aren't members there. I'm extremely thankful my family is safe. I spoke to the adjuster yesterday on the phone an it sounds like they will be totaling the house and all of its contents. Guess I don't have to worry about selling the house now lol. Ill be able to sell the land once FEMA cleans it up as well.
