You doin’ okay?
18 dead now according to CNN.
Yeah the gas fire is all over TV. Apparently you can see the glow 20 miles away.
TV says AP says Highway patrol says undetermined number of fatalities.
OMG, horrible. Seems weird at this time of year too.
bump
Man that storm is just brutal.
That’s an awfully high death toll. Sadly, it’ll probably go up by morning as they clear the rubble and find more bodies.
Thanks for posting. This is still happening right now. If this were not primary night this would be a bigger news story. There are a few threads, here is one:

Two people were killed when the same tornado touched down in Castalian Springs.
I don’t think I would be able to sleep knowing there was tornadoes occurring at night.
Last year Santa Fe saw it’s first tornado in over fifteen years.
Prayers for the victims.
You O.K.?
I can see it from my house. I’m only 10 miles away. Pictures are coming in from as far as 2 counties away.
Prayers for those people.
