Those schools don’t have bunkers?

I would have thought after 99 they would.

Based on the track of these storms, today is NOT the day to “get you’re kicks on route 66”, not in OK. Prayers up for the people in Oklahoma.

I heard that too, but I think its hyperbole based on the immediate situation. There was a storm in Kansas a couple of years ago that completely demolished a town, the one in Joplin Missouri that was an F-5, and last years Tuscaloosa Alabama storm.

So glad to hear your news ... and now we keep praying!

“My structure held up to Ike, I’m not terribly worried.”

Mine withstood Ike but Ike wasn’t a 4 or 5 tornado like this tornado. This is severe.

There also was a tornado in Bangladesh in the 1800s that killed over 1,000 people...

Thank you. Have only gotten the one e-mail from her. Nothing else.

Thank you all for your prayers. I am praying for the ones who were hit and impacted by the monster storm.

My MIL is in Yukon...I haven’t heard whether there was a tornado in Yukon...west OKC

Based on the carnage visible from the helo broadcast, there could be a huge number of casualties.

The number will probably go up. So many homes are just gone.

The only good thing here is plenty of daylight fremains for rescue and recovery ops.

The tornado was pretty far from Yukon. No damage there.
