The width and strength of that tornado and the horriffic damage it caused looks alot like the Plainfield, IL tornado. That one was just down the road from where I live.
If anyone knows of a good recovery effort to donate to (NOT Red Cross - Local in OK if possible) please post that information on this thread. I have to leave for work but will be checking back during my lunch break.
Here's a list via OKC News9 of organization's offering shelter/relief for the tornado refugees, and it's a good bet that any of them would be grateful for direct donations.
Shelters Open In OKC Metro For Those Affected By Massive Tornado
Over 90 deaths, but just over 100 were rescued from rubble piles overnight.
We will probably hear of additional ones in each category in the coming days.

As this storm line moved through NW Arkansas, it had lost much of its severity, but still caused localized damage.
Sadly, it took another viction. A 19-year old male was killed by storm debris in Springdale, Arkansas.
