My wife is on the phone with my Aunt and Uncle at the moment.

They live just outside of OKC in Harrah, they're fine but I guess it destroyed my cousin's house.

Everyone is OK which is the important thing!

Looking at the pics and all you can do is be in awe of the power these things process!

Ricky, you guys be safe!

Yea I saw it on the news last night, said the width was over a mile wide and the debris width about 2 miles wide. At least an F4. At the time I was watching yesterday it was over 50 dead including some children but they expected to find more. Crazy big twister.

Hope everone from RCC is ok....

I was just reading a few different stories in the media. Sad, Very Sad ! I realize I live in California that has Earthquakes ( Not in my Area per say ) I live in the Foothills. The only way I would live in Tornado alley is if I lived in the ground. Way under Ground.

How can they miscount the fatalities.....the death toll just dropped from 50 to 24....I mean thats awesome but still!!!

Seems like the news channel Im watching thrives on death....seems like they are disapointed that the deaths dropped!!

2 dead in tornado

It's about t.v. ratings and drama.

I certainly know that. You'll notice that a lot of times the news headline will read something like "50 feared dead"......or something along those lines.

Yeah it makes me wonder why we spend millions on crappy art design junk over i40 but there's no where safe for our children to go at school, when this is almost and identical path three years running......sad truly sad

I honestly thought that all schools down that way had a stormshelter within the schools!!

I heard that the kids in the schools were told to wait it out in the hallways!!
